Karkonosze · Szklarska Poręba, Dolnośląskie Voivodeship
The only Polish via ferrata on natural rock, above the Kamienna valley in Szklarska Poręba, a few kilometres from the Czech border. It starts with a ten-metre descent to a rope bridge, then runs across traverses and rungs over a granite slab, and finishes with three ladders and a passage through a rock window. It is short — the crossing itself takes fifteen minutes — so people usually repeat it or combine it with a day in the Karkonosze.
