Łagodna

Łagodna is a peak 676 metres above sea level, lying in the Karkonosze, more precisely in the Karkonosze Foothills, between Bucznik and Świerczyna, not far from Michałowice, which is part of Piechowice.

Name and neighbouring peaks

The German name of the peak was Drei Urlenberg, meaning "three sycamores". The crossroads lying between Łagodna and neighbouring Świerczyna is likewise called Trzy Jawory (Three Sycamores).

Geological composition

Łagodna is built of Karkonosze granite, the same rock that makes up most of the highest parts of the Karkonosze.

Routes in the area

South of the summit runs the Droga pod Reglami (Trail below the Timberline), leading from Szklarska Poręba to Jagniątków, and further through Zachełmie to Przesieka.

In the Karkonosze range, it is also worth noting other places, such as the Szklarka Waterfall.

Higher up in the range lies Szrenica as well.

At the foot of the Karkonosze in this area stands Chojnik Castle.

Practical information

• Location: between Bucznik and Świerczyna, near Michałowice (Piechowice), Karkonosze County
• Access: approach from Michałowice or from the Droga pod Reglami running south of the summit
• What to expect: sources give no marked trail leading straight to the summit - it is worth checking an up-to-date tourist map
