A powerful storm in the Karkonosze Mountains. Closed trails and broken trees

Broken trees and closed footbridges

According to RMF FM reporter Michał Krasoń, the most difficult situation occurs around the Kamieńczyk Waterfall, where the footbridges leading to the attractions have been closed for safety reasons.

Strong gusts of wind break trees, which can hit structures and pose a serious threat to visitors.

We try to remove them as quickly as possible, but, of course, the safety of park employees comes first, so we don't run any longer, we simply close the trail, it shakes, roars, shakes windows, it's really windy - says Piotr Słowiński, spokesman for the park.

Windy and snowy - dangerous conditions in the mountains

In the higher parts of the Karkonosze Mountains, in addition to strong winds, there was also snowfall. The park authorities emphasize that the conditions are extremely difficult and dangerous.

Due to difficult conditions, the park authorities strongly advise against mountain trips today. For now, there is no information that anyone was injured as a result of the storm.

The services appeal to be especially careful and follow announcements regarding the situation in the Karkonosze Mountains.
