CZ-624385 CZ-644924 Sněžka - the highest point in the Czech Republic

Sněžka or Śnieżka is a mountain on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland, the most prominent point of the Silesian Ridge in the Krkonoše mountains. At 1,603 metres (5,259 ft), its summit is the highest point in the Czech Republic

One side of the mountain is in Czech Republic; the other belongs to the Poland. The area is very popular in summer with tourists from the Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany who enjoy hiking in the alpine environment.

In 2004 a new post office and observation platform replaced an old post office and the remains of the Bohemian hut, which was closed since the 1980s. 

I have received two postcards of this Czech mountain. The first postcard came from Lucie (24 April 2015) Postcrossing and the second postcard came from Ota (25 May 2015) Postcrossing.
