Czarna Góra is one of the most recognisable peaks near Szklarska Poręba — a cone-shaped summit whose sharp, distinctive silhouette catches the eye from far away. At just under a thousand metres it might not sound dramatic, but its steep slopes and crowning rock formations make it feel much bigger than its numbers suggest.
The peak rises from the eastern slope of Wysoki Kamień, forming a small but striking cone with steeply falling southern, eastern and northern sides. Near the summit you'll find scattered rock groups worth a detour — the impressive 'Dzwonnica' cluster right on top, 'Czarna Skałka' to the east, and 'Słoneczna' with 'Czerwone Skałki' on the southern slope. From up here a sweeping panorama opens across the entire Izera Mountains massif, the Izera Foothills, the Kaczawskie Mountains and the Rudawy Janowickie, and through gaps in the trees you can even spot the western Karkonosze — Śnieżne Kotły and Szrenica. Spruce forest mixed with deciduous trees covers the slopes year-round, and in autumn and winter the views across the region are particularly crisp.
How to reach the summit
Practical information
The hill was once a favourite hunting ground for medieval mineral prospectors known as 'walończycy', who scoured these slopes back in the 14th–15th centuries — today the only thing worth digging for here is a good view.
