Igliczna (845 m a.s.l.) is one of the most distinctive summits in the Śnieżnik Massif — a sharp, cone-shaped peak with steep sides that instantly stands out against the skyline near Międzygórze. It combines a rewarding hike through spruce forest with a hilltop sanctuary and a sweeping mountain panorama.
The peak sits at the western tip of a long ridge stretching from Czarna Góra and Jaworowa Kopa, and its pointed silhouette is recognisable from miles around. The summit is built from gneiss rocks that form a rocky crest rising out of a boulder field at the very top, with numerous gneis outcrops scattered across the slopes. Dense lower-montane spruce forest, mixed with deciduous trees, covers most of the mountain — pleasantly cool in summer and beautifully colourful in autumn. From the summit and the viewpoint near the mountain shelter you can enjoy a broad panorama of Śnieżnik, Czarna Góra and much of the Kłodzko Valley region.
How to reach the summitThe late Baroque chapel of 'Maria Śnieżna', built in 1781–1782, gives this hike a uniquely contemplative character — the Stations of the Cross path winding up to the top makes Igliczna a place where mountain adventure meets centuries of local tradition.
