A summit on the border
Stożek Wielki stands 978 m a.s.l. on the Polish–Czech border. It is a wooded summit with clearings that open out the views, and at the same time a popular walking destination — easy to reach, even with children.
The hut and the chairlift
- The PTTK mountain hut — one of the oldest in the Beskids, with hot meals and beds
- The chairlift — from Wisła Czarne almost to the summit
- Waymarked trails — links along the Beskid ridges
- The borderland — trails continue into the Czech side
In practice
Stożek can be climbed on foot along waymarked trails or reached by chairlift — the last few hundred metres are then covered on foot. The lift shortens the trip considerably; its operating hours depend on the season and the weather.
