Attractions in Nowa Wieś are the peaks of the Śnieżnik Massif, from Mały Śnieżnik to Sośnik, and a wooden lookout tower on Trójmorski Wierch.
The tallest is Mały Śnieżnik, the second highest peak in the Polish part of the Śnieżnik Massif (1,326 m above sea level), inside the nature reserve of the same name. Its twin is Goworek (1,320 m). Lower, but still above a thousand metres, are Wysoczka (1,185 m, in the Śnieżnik Landscape Park) and Puchacz (1,175 m, on the Polish-Czech border). All are tagged Free, Nature and Solo.
They lie in the Eastern Sudetes, within the Śnieżnik Massif, whose highest point is Śnieżnik itself. Mały Śnieżnik and Goworek stand right next to it, and the same part of the massif holds the Śnieżnik Kłodzki nature reserve and a lookout tower on Śnieżnik. The rock is mainly gneiss from the Lądek-Śnieżnik metamorphic complex, and many slopes carry lower montane spruce forest. Trails, views and the level of marking differ from summit to summit, so it pays to choose your target in advance.
On the summit of Trójmorski Wierch (1,145 m) stands a 25-metre lookout tower. The wooden structure was built in December 2009 and opened to hikers on 8 May 2010. It also serves as a fire tower, and the investor was the municipality of Międzylesie. The summit's name refers to the watershed of three seas. Nearby lies Jasień, a hill of about 936 m known on the Czech side as Jelení vrch.
Yes. Szeroka Kopa (871 m) sits in a side ridge of Śnieżnik, between the valleys of the Domaszkowski stream and the Wilczka. Gawlik (788 m) and Owcza Góra (760 m) are wooded and have no marked tourist infrastructure on the summit, and Owcza Góra neighbours the Wilczka Waterfall. Sośnik is a small hill in the village of Nowa Wieś, with no marked trail to the top. For Gawlik the sources say there is no trail to the summit itself and no described view from the top, so it suits people who feel confident off the marked routes.
The international blue E3 trail and a yellow connecting trail cross Wysoczka, and near Szeroka Kopa runs the yellow trail from Międzygórze to the Puchacz Pass. Both trails meet on the western slope of Wysoczka, where the Nowinka stream rises. Cyclists can use a yellow-marked route linking the Wilczka Waterfall reserve with Nowa Wieś. For many summits the sources give no approach, so check your route before setting out. Every place described here is tagged Free and Solo, so all of them suit a self-guided trip. Pick by theme: mountains, beautiful views, nature, free places or solo hikes.
