Small group of rocks close to the main ridge in Karkonosze mountain, with superb view, basically 360 degrees. Absolutely best way to get there is to hike from schronisko Śląski Dom to the west, following red trail, called Główny Szlak Sudecki, which is the longest trail in Polish Sudetes mountains. If you do that hike, you will walk right on the edges of two major post-glacial cirques with lakes in both of them. Słonecznik is also a junction of two other trail, a yellow and green ones - both leave different starting points in the town of Karpacz, then cross each other in place called Polana, and from there, again following different paths (the yellow one passes another fantastic group of rocks called Pielgrzymy), so they can be used as a round trip from Karpacz. But be aware, that some trails are likely to be closed for some parts of the year, due to different subjects of nature protection (the green trail for the whole of April and May, due to protection of black grouse), also the red trail follows different path in winter, as it would be too dangerouos to walk on huge amounts of snow overhanging the ridges o mentioned cirques.

We visited on All Saints Day when most other attractions were closed. The zoo is open every single day of the year! It was quiet when we got there and this meant we were able to see everything really close up. The zoo was decorated beautifully for autumn, with many of the animals being treated to pumpkins! Entrance fee was very reasonable at 50zloty, 40 with reduction (need ID). We started our visit with the outside areas and our highlights were the giraffes, rhino, wild cats, lions and monkeys. Some areas of the zoo are old and need some investment, especially the elephant area which is too small and run down. The main attraction at the zoo is the Afrykarium. This is a huge, modern building in the centre of the zoo and has obviously cost a lot of money. The design is fabulous - penguins and sea lions can be observed from both outside and inside under the water. There is a sea life section with a see through tunnel where you can observe sharks, sting rays, turtles etc. And the absolute highlights for us were the hippos and the manatees, again which can be observed from all angles. The animals in these areas had lots of space and their habitats seemed really well designed. We have never seen manatees before, so this was a real treat. We also used the cafe in Afrykarium for delicious cake. Hopefully the revenue from this new attraction will help the zoo to invest in some of the enclosures which need some work.

Wodospad Szklarki is the second highest - after Wodospad Kamieńczyka - waterfall in Polish Karkonosze. Szklarka itself is rather short, not even 7 km long stream, that shortly after folling down into Kamienna river valley (that's how Szklarki Waterfall has been created) ends up joining forces and waters with mentioned Kamienna river. Very popular spot with tourists - in peak times queues for toll booth can reach half an hour, or even longer. And yes, as it is a part of Karkonosze National Park, the entry is paid. Toll booth are located on blue/black trail, which leads to the waterfall (about 10-15 minutes), and the access to that entry is cleverly hidden between souvenir huts on always super busy car park on the main DK3 road, just before Szklarska Poręba (when coming from the north) - formally Szklarki Waterfall is not in Szklarska Poręba, it's within town of Piechowice boundaries. This path is also wheelchair accessible. There's another entry, from area over the waterfall, on the other end of blue/black trails, and it is legal and free of charge, but takes a bit more effort, as the walk is much longer, but hose hikers, who go for this option, they got a chance to enjoy much longer stretch of Szklarka, which is very picturesque on much of its length. Some people in their reviews here suggest different ways of skipping the toll booth - those are illegal, and as it is a national park, you only allowed to use marked trail, and we've seen park guards fining those, who thought they are too clever to pay. And after all of that - the waterfall itself is lovely, Kochanówka mountain hut located just in front of it serves food and drinks. Only those large crowds... so go there early in the morning, or after 4 pm, and you will have that waterfall mainly for yourself.
