Karpacz: Kopa - Sněžka - Giant Mountains
Karpacz occupies the valley of the Łomnica River on the northern foothills of the Giant Mountains in Poland’s Lower Silesian Voivodeship. Above the town, Kopa rises to 1,377 metres, while Sněžka, at 1,603 metres, stands on the Polish-Czech border as the highest summit of both the range and the Sudetes. Karpacz developed as a mountain resort and remains a base for routes into Karkonosze National Park. Its most distinctive historic monument is Wang Church, a wooden stave church built in medieval Norway and transferred to Karpacz in the 19th century. Forested slopes and a spread of hotels, homes and visitor facilities give the town a distinctly upland character.

Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War.
