Karkonosze in November #2

On the second day of our trip weather improved a little bit (at least this was our feeling in the morning). We needed better weather to get to Śnieżne Kotły over the yellow trail. So we decided to go there on Friday. After two hours of hiking we get to the hut called "Pod Łabskim Szczytem". We got cup of tea there and started hiking up. Unfortunately weather wasn't so nice anymore. It was snow on the trail and really strong blustery. Snow was everywhere and whole my camera was wet (fortunately Canon claims it's weather-proof and it really is!). Sometimes I wasn't able to see where is the yellow trail. Somehow we got to the top where yellow trail joined the red one. It was wider and had long cones marking the trail even when snow is very high. Snow was up to my knees. After few minutes of hike we started wondering where's the famous TV tower? And suddenly it appeared just in front of us from nowhere! What a view! It's really impossible to describe it here in details, but please imagine what could be the weather in Karkonosze just looking at some pics below....


And I must mention and recommend place where we were staying. It's called Pension Reszyniec and I definitely recommend it! Here you can see picture of the lobby with nice fireplace and comfortable sofas suited to drink good whiskey and browse wireless Internet!
