Rudawy Janowickie - done.

And so it happened - for the first time on this blog the plan has officially came to pass. What happened exactly though is that we did not manage to do Ostra Mała and Skalnik on the first day - due to the fact that we have been through a lot after a long while, plus one of our friends was not particularly fond of the mountains... and also it turned out that there was no store in Czarnów whatsoever, so we needed to go half and hour to the next village - Pisarzowice, to get something to eat for the evening and for the next day.
The next day we did not manage to get out so early as I would want, but we still managed to climb Skalnik and see Ostra Mała and the Horses of the Apocalips. Pretty shame though that we did not know where exactly was the pick and in which moment to take a turn to see this famous view on Karkonosze from Skalnik...
Well I did get my view from the next pick, but the clarity of the air wasn't the best. Of course you could see Sniezka, but to catch it on a photo wasn't quite that easy. Plus my camera was going nuts all the way, so I am quite happy with the pics I could get under those circumstances.
The walk for the next day was quite a long one, though after Skalnik it was quite simple. But we ran out of water too fast and we did not have enough strength to climb on any of the Staroscinskie Sklay (though we went on to the Furnece - quite a nice view). So this is left for the next time. Also we left for the next time both boobies ;) - meaning Krzyżna Góra and Sokolik are still on the menu - this is also due to the unplanned events, like lady charging tones of money for a fish at the Swiss Hut... a good one though ;)

Anyway pics to document the road. Also on Magda's account. Some of them - I must mention - are taken also by Magda or by me with her camera, because of troubles with mine. A new plan - must get me a good one to make better landscapes.

New short plans on short term

The plans for the plans have changed when a new Mountain priority occured. This happens to be the part of Sudety Mountians called Rudawy Janowickie and we plan to go there this weekend.
The plan is as follows - we leave Wroclaw 8:10 bus to Kamienna Gora and we are supposed to be in Marciszow at 10:35. And this is the place where we start walking.
The first goal is the Colorful lakes near a village called Wiesciszowice - there are supposed to be three small lakes with water in three different colours. First one is purple, next one is turquoise and the last one is green. I have heard that the last one has dried out, but we will see...
Then we will climb the mountain nearby called Wielka Kopa and after that we will go south-west to the highest part of Rudawy Janowickie, near village Czarnow. We have a place there to stay for the night, but if we will feel alright, we will try to climb on the Ostra Mala rock and maybe even Skalnik Mountain. This is the highest mountain here and it is said that the view on Karkonosze mountains from the top of Skalnik takes your breath away.
So if we manage to climb them the first day, this will be awesome, because then the next day will start with an easier way :) up north. We want o cross the Starocisnkie Rocks and turn a bit west to climb the next famous mountains in Rudawy - that is Sokolik and Krzyzna Gora. There is also this old Swiss hut over there.
Then we have to catch the train at Trzcinsko or at Janowice Wielkie at around 6pm. And that's about it.
Looking forward to see, how it will work out.
