Karpacz

Karpacz, in the Karkonosze Mountains of southwestern Poland, is a year-round destination offering a blend of natural beauty, outdoor activities, and cultural landmarks. Its location at the base of Śnieżka, the highest peak in the Sudetes at 1,603 metres, makes it an ideal base for hiking and skiing enthusiasts. 
Visitors can explore the Karkonosze National Park, a UNESCO-listed biosphere reserve, featuring diverse trails through alpine meadows, glacial cirques, and dense forests. In winter, Karpacz transforms into a ski resort with slopes suitable for various skill levels, complemented by facilities like the Orlinek ski jumping hill. 
A notable cultural attraction is the Vang Stave Church, a 13th-century wooden structure relocated from Norway in the 19th century, showcasing unique Scandinavian architecture. Families may enjoy the Karkonoskie Tajemnice museum, which delves into local legends, or visit the Toy Museum, Poland's largest collection of historical toys. 
For those seeking relaxation, the town offers wellness centres and traditional Polish cuisine.
