The viewing terrace of 4 Peron / the Szklarska Poręba-Górna railway station → Jakuszyce → Orle → Celna Droga → Zwalisko → Wysoki Kamień → the centre of Szklarska Poręba

To Jakuszyce by Kolej Izerska. From the highest station in Poland the hiking trip to Orle is like a walk. From the old glassmakers' settlement along Stara Droga Celna through Jelenia Łąka to the Rozdroże below the Cicha Równia. Destination - Zwalisko / Wieczorny Zamek and its legend.... The Mountain Spirit has an enchanted entrance to its treasury here ;-). Wysoki Kamień is the magnificent viewpoint over the Karkonosze, the Jeleniogórska Basin, the Izerskie Foothills, the Kaczawskie Mountains, and the eastern Góry Izerskie. Numerous tourists consider this panorama to be the most beautiful in the Sudetes. From the shelter at the top the road leads straight to the centre of Szklarska Poręba.
