Saneczkowa Mountain

Saneczkowa Mountain is a small peak in the Karkonosze, 789 metres above sea level, lying in the eastern part of the Karkonosze Intermontane Depression, between Karpacz Górny and Płóczki. Its name refers to the sledging run running down its slope.

Structure and location

The hill is built of Karkonosze granite. On its western side it is skirted by the Dziki Stream, the same stream which further down forms the Dziki Waterfall. On its northern side Saneczkowa connects with the neighbouring hill, Husycka Górka.

The sledging run

The longest sledging run in Karpacz runs down the mountain's slope, 1,650 metres long with a 114-metre difference in elevation. It is this run that gave the hill its name.

Nearby

Saneczkowa lies in the immediate vicinity of the Wang Temple, one of the most frequently visited attractions in Karpacz. In the area, towards the border with the Czech Republic, also rises the highest peak of the Karkonosze, Śnieżka.
