About Szklarska Poreba
Szklarska Poręba is a ski resort on the Polish side of the Giant Mountains, once called Schreiberhau. In the 19th century many Berlin manufacturers built holiday villas on this Silesian side of the range. The SkiArena Szrenica starts in the centre of town, with parking and restaurants at the lower station, and runs up the slopes of Szrenica and Łabski Szczyt. The homes sit close together in and around town, with a pool or sauna in many. In summer hikers head for the Polish-Czech Friendship Trail along the main ridge. Out of season, the town is quieter and the mountain weather changes quickly.
