If you think that you cannot go hiking with a pram or a disabled friend in a wheelchair or on crutches - you have to go along the Path to Szklarka. It is extremely interesting, friendly, concise and short. Wandering along the path you will get to know the most characteristic elements of the Karkonosze nature, incl. steep slopes and interesting rocks of the Szklarka stream valley. The vicinity of the waterfall is one of the few places where the typical forest communities of the lower Karkonosze Mountains have survived, i.e. the Sudeten beech forest with an admixture of fir and spruce - you will be able to soak up the beauty of the natural forest and admire various species of mosses and lichens as well as many species of birds, e.g. it spins and the wagtail. The culmination of the trip will be the view of Szklarki Waterfall, from which the water falls with a dull mountain rumble from a height of 13 meters! The course of the path : car park by the Szklarska Poręba-Jelenia Góra road (access for hikers from Szklarska Poręba - green trail along the Kamienna River) from Piechowice (blue trail), Szklarki Gorge (blue and black trail), "Kochanówka" shelter, Szklarki Waterfall.
