When are the trails to Śnieżne Kotły closed to protect black grouse?

In 2026, from 15 March until at least the end of May, Karkonosze National Park (KPN) closed two sections to protect black grouse and peregrine falcons: the green trail Mokre Rozdroże – Śnieżne Kotły (Snow Cirques) – Rozdroże pod Wielkim Szyszakiem and the yellow trail from Mokre Rozdroże (above the Pod Łabskim Szczytem hut) to Śnieżne Kotły. The town’s tourist website reported this on 18 March 2026. Before a spring hike in later years, check the current KPN trail bulletin.
