Mount Sněžka has been popular among travellers for centuries already. The first documented ascent to its summit dates back as far as 1456, when a certain Venetian merchant was looking for precious stones. One hundred years later, a certain Silesian Humanist attempted to ascertain how high Mount Sněžka is, measuring a respectable 5,880 metres.
Sněžka and Śnieżka are the Czech and Polish names for the peak, respectively. Visitors are treated to a breathtaking natural setting at its exact position inside Krkonoše National Park.

Nov 7, 2018 · Sněžka is the highest one and we share a peak with our polish neighbor. The history of this place from the perspective of Czech- Polish relations is also interesting. You can find here about a 27 km long hiking trail of Czech-Polish friendship that leads just on the border and crosses the peak of Sněžka as well.
