Wysoki Kamień

Wysoki Kamień is a peak 1,058 metres above sea level in the Izerskie Mountains, on the Wysoki Grzbiet ridge, right above Szklarska Poręba. It belongs to the Crown of Lower Silesian Mountains.

Views from the summit

From the summit a panorama unfolds over the Karkonosze, the Izerskie Mountains, the Kaczawskie Mountains and the Rudawy Janowickie.

The ridge and neighbouring elevations

West of the main summit, all the way to the Rozdroże pod Zwaliskiem pass, stretches a ridge with three prominent rocky elevations: Duży Wysoki Kamień (1,050 m), Zawalidroga (1,025 m) and an unnamed elevation (1,023 m). A red trail runs along it.

History of the observation tower

An observation tower built in 1875 once stood on the summit, along with a mountain hostel from 1837. At the time this information was gathered, a new observation tower was under construction.
