An ideal spot for sunset.
With the hotel guide, you will also learn about the history and legends of this place.
2. Chybotek – the rock with a legend
Chybotek - this glacial erratic rock attracts tourists not only because of its shape but also the views of the Karkonosze. Legend has it that whoever moves the rock will have their dreams fulfilled. Chybotek is a place where you can admire unique rocks. Various hiking trails lead to Chybotek, and while walking them, you can find traces of old legends and historical inscriptions. This place is unique on the map of the Karkonosze and perfect for rest and admiring the panoramas.
Route from Bergo Hotel: same as to Złoty Widok, then along the green trail.
An expedition with a guide is an opportunity to learn the geological history of the rock and its surroundings.
3. Śnieżne Kotły – the raw beauty of the mountains
Spectacular walls of glacial cirques and extensive views make this one of the most picturesque spots in the Karkonosze. Here, the panorama of the Karkonosze has a rugged, monumental character. The panoramas make the view from this location one of the most recognizable in the region. From Śnieżne Kotły, there is a magnificent view of the Karkonosze peaks, including Łabski Szczyt, Wielki Szyszak, Śnieżka, as well as the Jelenia Góra basin, Rudawy Janowickie, and the Izera Mountains. From here, the view of the Kamienna valley and Śnieżne Kotły is exceptional – numerous peaks and panoramas are visible, including Wysoki Kamień. In the area, there are mountain huts that serve as excellent starting points for trails.
Route: from Bergo Hotel along the red trail through Kamieńczyk Waterfall and Szrenicka Meadow, then along the Main Sudeten Trail.
Walking time: about 4 hours one way.
With a hotel guide, the expedition is safer, especially in variable weather.

You can go there with a hotel guide as part of a shorter sightseeing trip.
