Rówienka

Rówienka is a peak 960 metres above sea level in the Karkonosze (Giant Mountains), lying within the Silesian Ridge above Karpacz.

Position on the ridge

Rówienka is a faintly marked rise in the north-eastern part of the Silesian Ridge, on a side arm branching off from Smogornia towards the north-east. Above it lies Suszyca, and below it Czarna Góra, which connects to Czoło via the Pass below Czoło. To the east of Rówienka lies Karpacz.

Structure and vegetation

The peak is built of Karkonosze granite and covered with spruce forests.

Trails

The eastern slope of Rówienka is crossed by a blue tourist trail from Karpacz Górny via Stara Polana, Samotnia and Strzecha Akademicka all the way to Równia pod Śnieżką. This is also crossed by the yellow trail from Borowice via Stara Polana and Pielgrzymy to Słonecznik.

Nearby

Nearby stands the Wang Temple, and the trails from Rówienka ultimately lead towards Śnieżka.

Closer to Karpacz it's also worth seeing the Wild Waterfall.
