One of most significant peaks in Karkonosze mountains, marked with a mountain hut right on top of it. Surprisingly Szrenica is only 27 on the list of Karkonosze highest peaks, but because of its distinction and being so high over surrounding hills (also because of the mentioned hut) it serves in western Karkonosze same purpose, as much higher Śnieżka in eastern Karkonosze - it is a landmark. Many marked walking paths on both, Polish and Czech parts (some of them closed in winter, some use different paths on snow - all of that due to the danger of avalanches), and there's another surprise here: even if Szrenica is a part of the main ridge in Karkonosze, which is also a line of the state border, its peak is moved slightly to the north from the ridge, meaning it is entirely on Polish side - by the decision of nature forces. For people less willing to walk steep slopes - not far from the top there's a top station of a chair lift from Szklarska Poręba (two stages with change over half way through). For people willing to spend the night high in the mountains: there's that hut on top of Szrenica, there's another just below on Polish side, another one on Czech side, also many more at the bottom of the peak. Superb views from th top, large parts of Karkonosze on both sides of the ridge can be seen, also a view towards Góry Izerskie mountain group. Basically a must do, when in Karkonosze.
