Turek

Turek is a peak at 1003 m above sea level in the Karkonosze (Giant Mountains), in the north-eastern part of the Śląski Ridge, above Karpacz. It lies between the Płasawa valley to the north and the Łomnica valley to the south.

Geology and rock outcrops

The peak is built of Karkonosze granite, with numerous rock outcrops on the slopes descending towards both valleys.

Trails to the summit

According to trail descriptions published on the AllTrails portal, three hiking routes lead to Turek. The portal does not give their colours or exact course, so the markings are worth checking on an up-to-date tourist map of the Karkonosze before setting out.
