Czech - Polish border along Karkonosze mountains
twitter : @ceepackaging
The Polish--Czech Friendship Trail (Czech: Cesta česko-polského přátelství, Polish: Droga Przyjaźni Polsko-Czeskiej) is a public walking path in the Karkonosze Mountains. The path runs on both sides of the Czech--Polish border, along the main ridge and crosses or traverses all its summits. The maintenance of the trail is performed by the staff of both adjacent national parks: the Polish Karkonosze National Park and the Czech Krkonoše National Park. The trail is marked red and the signs mostly bilingual. The start point is located on Szrenica and the end in the Okraj Pass / Pomezní boudy; the length of the trail is approx. 30 km.
Until the Middle Ages, the peak area of Karkonosze remained untouched; the first people to explore it were treasure hunters looking for gold, and shepherds. In the 18th century ascents to the Sněžka / Śnieżka were fairly common, organised tourism appeared in the second half of 19th century, along with railway access to Jelenia Góra, Szklarska Poręba and Karpacz. Śnieżka was climbed amongst others by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In that period many shepherd's huts were built, called in German Baude and bouda in Czech. Some of them became tourist shelters e.g. Lucni Bouda. Around 300 km of trails were constructed in both Silesian and Bohemian parts of the mountains. The whole idea was conceived, implemented and managed by two mountain clubs, Austrian Riesengebirgenverein and German Riesengebirgenverein. All the main paths and trails, including these in the alpine area, were constructed before World War I. The trail, later dubbed Polish-Czech Friendship Trail, was completed before the end of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century the upper zones of the range were a busy tourist region with numerous huts and other facilities.
The trail was opened on 16 June 1961, as a result of the Polish--Czechoslovak treaty concerned with tourism and mutual relations. It was made possible to hike along the border, but it still involved some formalities (eg.identity card and check-in to a hotel) and the trail was not accessible to tourists from outside these two countries. In the 1970s and 1980s Polish and Czech dissidents met on the trail, including Jacek Kuroń and Václav Havel.
With the implementation of martial law in Poland on 13 December 1981 the trail was closed. It was reinstated in 1984. Paradoxically, despite the declared friendship, the trail route was the subject to some formal issues: Czech authorities claimed that the route infringed the Czech territory by 2 metres. Trips to the peak of Sněžka were possible only if accompanied by a guide approved by local authorities (including the army and militia). After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, the name changed to Polish-Czech Friendship Trail and the regulations were reduced considerably: the check-points were often left unstaffed and only random inspections on the border were performed. With Schengen rules in 2007, all border controls were eliminated. Nonetheless, any persons crossing the border must have a valid identity document (ID card, passport) with them - not that anyone in my party bothered.
Being situated in the upper part of the Karkonosze range, the trail's climate is generally more varied and less favourable than in the lower levels. Both major peaks on the trail, Sněžka and Szrenica are shrouded in fog or cloud for more than half of the year: for 296 days and 264 days respectively. The annual average temperature on Sniezka is +0.2°C, for Szrenica +1.9°C. Snow covers the ground until at least April. Śnieżka is one of the windiest place in Poland; only about three days a year are calm.
The path stays away fromhardwood forest; with the predominant montane and subalpine vegetation zone. Spruce monoculture prevails. Acid rain, frequent in the 1980s and 1990s affected the area, though their destructive effect was not as powerful as in the lower zones. In some parts, especially around Mały Szyszak mountain meadows cover large areas, used in 19th and in the first half of the 20th centuries as mountain pasture areas. This has come to a standstill, although some traces of old shepherd huts can still be found; some of them have been converted into mountain huts.
The subalpine vegetation along the track consists of subarctic high moors and mountain pine. Many species coexist here, as cloudberry and lichen. The alpine vegetation zone appears only at the slopes of Śnieżka which is a rocky desert covered in granite rubble.
Wildlife includes the badger, mouflon and mountain shrew. Birds include the black grouse, Tengmalm's owl, alpine accentor, water pipit, common redpoll, Western Capercaillie. Numerous invertebrates also occur in the alpine zone.

Odrodzenia, Karkonosze mountains
SEE MY HISTORY SITE ON FACEBOOK :
Wonderful views from the Polish - Czech border at Odrodzenia looking north from the Karkonosze mountains towards Jeleina Góra. The Karkonosze mountain range is perhaps not very well known except amongst locals, however it boasts wonderful trails, especially on the Czech side which is not as steep as the Polish side and therefore much larger. The evening this was filmed, I approached from the south in my camper van, the previous week we had climbed up on foot from Poland.
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced around 1,900 original films.
My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

Karpacz | July 2017 | VLOG
Hey guys and welcome to another VLOG. ♥
This time I visited the city Karpacz and its sourroundings in Poland.
First I visited the Dziki Wodospad, a waterfall near the lower lift station to Śnieżka.
Afterwards there was the Vang stave church, which was bought by King Frederick William IV of Prussia and transferred from Vang in the Valdres region of Norway and re-erected in 1842 in Brückenberg near Krummhübel in Silesia, now Karpacz in the Karkonosze mountains of Poland. The church is a four-post single-nave stave church originally built around 1200 in the parish of Vang in the Valdres region of Norway.
Finally I was at the Chojnik Castle. It is a castle located above the town of Sobieszów, today part of Jelenia Góra in southwestern Poland. Its remains stand on top of the Chojnik hill within the Karkonosze National Park, overlooking the Jelenia Góra valley. Today the semi-ruined stronghold is a major tourist attraction and houses a hotel and a restaurant.
I try to upload as frequent as possible, so if you enjoyed this video and want to stay tuned: Leave a like, subscribe to my channel and share this video!
