Hike #33b: Exploring Krkonoše - Day Two (Czechia/Poland)

in Photography Lovers4 years ago

Welcome to the next episode of photo-series dedicated to hiking adventures. This is the second day of our trek through The Krkonoše Mountains. If you missed the first day, it is covered in this post. Enjoy😉


After we finish our breakfast at The White Elbe chalet, we set out for a journey. We follow this river - White Elbe.

There are several waterfalls/cascades on the river. This one is called Velký vodopád (The Great Fall)😁

Passing by this electricity pole with amazing patterns.

Local goats, Líza and Róza.

The man in the green coat, that is Krakonoš (Rübezahl, Karkonosz) - a mountain spirit of these mountains. Well, this one is from known resort Špindlerův Mlýn. If you zoom in on him, you will see his special cane with an animal.

We better leave this busy tourist town and climb up a bit to see some nature.

At last! Having a good beer (by Kocour brewery) at the chalet Moravská bouda (1225 m.a.s.l.). Yummy!

This rock formation (1414 m.a.s.l.) has lovely name - Dívčí kameny (loosely translated as Maiden/Girl's stones).

Few hundreds meters further, who would expect it - Mužské kameny (Man's stones), 1417 m.a.s.l.

Now the fun about to begin! Here is legend - that rounded mountain is called Vysoké Kolo (The High Wheel), 1509 m.a.s.l. That tiny tip on it, those are remains of Wilhelm I Hohenzollern's monument. That building (churchlike from this spot) in the background is a transmission tower at Polish side.

Going around the mountain Vysoké Kolo as it is not allowed to climb it up.

It is 7 PM, we just arrive at our shelter - Vosecká bouda (1250 m.a.s.l.)
IMG_20190919_185753.jpg


Enjoying last sunrays.
IMG_20190919_185920.jpg


Enjoying local beer (by Rohozec Brewery) now inside the chalet.
IMG_20190919_191642.jpg


Since this chalet is in the middle of nowhere, there is no power in rooms. So this is the only chance how to recharge your phone.

Unwanted comment, unable to delete it 😁

:DD

To nevím, proč ti to nešlo. Pokud na tvůj koment ještě někdo nereagoval nebo nedal vote, tak by se smazat měl dát... (tímto svým komentářem jsem tedy tvůj "unwanted comment" právě učinil oficiálně nesmazatelným :D)
