Facts and practical information

Przełęcz Karkonoska is a mountain pass in the central Karkonosze Mountains on the Polish-Czech border. At 1,198 m, it is the lowest point of the main ridge of the Karkonosze and, despite lying on the Polish-Czech border, Przełęcz Karkonoska, the Polish name, has no Czech equivalent. In the Czech Republic, the area is usually referred to by the Špindlerova bouda, a mountain hut located there. Another chalet, situated on the Polish side of the border, is called Odrodzenie. ()
