Wysoki Kopa - Pearl of the Jizera Mountains
AttractionPeak characteristics
The High Kopa, rising 1126 metres above sea level, is one of the highest peaks in the Jizera Mountains. Although the peak is completely forested and does not offer panoramic views like other mountain peaks, it has its own unique charm and history. The characteristic feature of Wysoki Kopa is its flat top, which makes it easily recognisable and unique in the landscape of the Sudety Mountains.
