Blogspot which describes the history of reaching Korona Gor Polski by me, written in one day after finishing 6-year experience. My goal was to reach every peak in the way which made me more aware of power of mountains. Peaks reaching every season, every month and even every day and night periods. Alone or in groups, different equipment, different conditions, simply variously.
March 2005. What we didn't make a month ago - we did this time. March is probably the best month for a mountain trip, if you want to walk on snow-covered terrain in Poland. It's quite hard firmed, but isn't melting yet. It's comfortable and soft, possible to walk 3km/h, but if there are fallen trees you may lost some time and it's good to predeterminate it in your timetable. I don't think I could walk more than 12-13km during one winter day at mountain routes. You can be almost sure you'll lost the route at least once a day in polish mountains and it's good to treat it like an additional attraction. Then we hitch-hiked from Walbrzych to Rybnica Lesna. Traveling was pleasant then, we pass
Andrzejówka hostel and get to Waligora. The slope was steep, but quite short and easy even in winter. We weren't tired at all. Only problem was the sun. Frozen skin wasn't prepared for sunbath, unique winter feeling. Views like on pictures - snow-covered spruces were the most interesting. Everything went according to plan. Sinking in snow and small avalanches were the only problems. It usually happened in shaded areas. But the weather was quite stableand we didn't expected more avalanches, another danger came with slopes which were 45 degrees steep and we had to walk through them. And until the end of the day we had enough time for seightseeing and taking photos. All took 8-9 hours. We were in Jedlina Zdroj at the time we expected.
