A gentler version of the climb to Karkonoska Pass, nevertheless it's still a very difficult climb, there's just a bit more time to warm up :) The last few kilometres are brutal and require experience. The surface is terrible towards the end but at this speed it doesn't bother you that much.... read more

Łagodniejsza wersja podjazdu na Przełęcz Karkonoską, niemniej to cały czas bardzo trudny podjazd, po prostu jest trochę więcej czasu na rozgrzewkę :) Ostatnie kilka kilometrów jest brutalne i wymaga doświadczenia. Nawierzchnia pod koniec jest fatalna ale przy tej prędkości to aż tak nie przeszkadza.

The iconic Karkonoska Saddle, dubbed the most difficult climb in Poland. Here in an easier version than from Przesieka, nevertheless still very demanding.

Kultowa Przełęcz Karkonoska, mianowana najtrudniejszym podjazdem w Polsce. Tutaj w wersji łatwiejszej niż z Przesieki, niemniej dalej bardzo wymagającej.
