The Smogornia ( Mittagsberg , Czech. Stříbrný hřbet ) is a mountain in the eastern part of the main ridge of the Giant Mountains. It lies on the Czech-Polish border, about 6 km northeast of Spindleruv Mlyn (Czech Špindlerův Mlýn , Polish Szpindlerowy Młyn ) and 6 km west-southwest of Karpacz ( Krummhübel ).

With a height of 1490 meters above sea level , it is the sixth highest one-thousanders in the Czech Republic .

location

View from the small balaclava

The slopes of the Smogornia are not very steep except for the eastern slope, almost completely deforested and covered by mountain pines. On the northern Polish side, the avalanche railway, there are two glacier cirques with 200 meters of steep cliffs. Karseen, Maly Staw ( small pond ) in the eastern part and Wielki Staw ( large pond ) in the northern part of the cirque, where the Prinz-Heinrich-Baude burned down in 1946, belonged to both Karen .

The summit area is very flat and covered with wobbly, knee-high granite rocks and must not be entered for nature conservation reasons. The Sudeten Main Hiking Trail ( Główny Szlak Sudecki ) and the Path of Polish-Czech Friendship (Kammweg) lead along 300 meters north of the summit .
The scree field continues on the southern slope, as can be found on the summit plateau. The Luční bouda ( meadow hut ) - Špindlerova bouda ( Spindlerbaude ) hiking trail , which is used as a ski trail in winter , runs on the south-west slope .

Surname

"Srebrny Upłaz" is another Polish name and, like in Czech, contains the word for silver ( střibro ), which was mined here. Both terms have almost the same meaning, namely silverback or silver comb. The German name, on the other hand, identifies the Smogornia as a mountain over which the sun rises at noon, which can be observed from both the Bohemian and the Silesian side.

natural reserve

The Smogornia is located on the territory of two national parks. In Poland in the Karkonoski Park Narodowy (KPN) and in the Czech Republic in the Krkonošský národní park (KRNAP).
