Description
Śnieżne Kotły, also known as the Snow Pits, are two glacial basins located in the Giant Mountains National Park in Poland. These remarkable formations were created during the last Ice Age and are known for their stunning natural beauty and diverse ecosystems. The area is characterized by rugged terrain, clear mountain streams, and is surrounded by towering peaks, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts.
The first basin, Śnieżny Kocioł, is the largest, featuring a glacial lake at its bottom. The lake is surrounded by steep granite walls and is often covered by ice well into the summer months. The second basin, Mały Kocioł, is smaller but equally captivating, with unique flora and fauna adapted to the high-altitude environment. The region is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, contributing to its ecological significance.
Visiting Śnieżne Kotły offers a unique experience for visitors to explore the natural landscape and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Giant Mountains. The area is accessible via hiking trails, which provide various levels of difficulty, allowing both novice and experienced hikers to appreciate the beauty of this remarkable site.
