Gory Stolowe - Szczeliniec Wielki, 919m

May 2004. Two days trip. It's enough to see everything, what's interesting in Gory Stolowe. Of course there are some different routes and it's possible to diversify the trip in many ways. We chose the way from Kudowa to Polanica. As always - the plan was simple. Wake up early, not to be late for a train and manage to catch the train from our destination point. Other things can't be planned. In the beginning we have visited Skalne Miasto (smaller one, in Poland, there's similar one in Czech Republic). This time we could have problems to find a place to stay for the night. If possible, we're trying not to sleep in hostels, but that night it was reasonable to choose Pasterka hostel. The next day we had 12 hours to go through Szczeliniec Wielki from Polanica. The route is well organized for tourism on the way for KGP. Lots of hand-rails made from chain, stairs and it's well described. During that day we had to walk for 30km. It's quite a big distance for a trip with full equipment, but the temperature and humidity were optimal. We started to complain at about 5kms to go. Before that there was much to watch, interesting slopes with lots of viewpoints or so called rock-mushrooms (skalne grzyby). Flat peaks and rocky precipices are typical for Gory Stolowe. Their lay of the land will stay in memory, even after many other mountain trips. It was one of the most pleasant routes on the way for KGP.
