The text focuses on methodological problems common among contemporary studies of art of artists’ colonies in the Karkonosze Mountains. It also points potential possibilities of formulating them again. The stylistic and comparative analysis is to be replaced with a deconstruction of category of genius loci proposed by Piotr Piotrowski and the employment of Jan Bialostocki’s category of ‘periphery’. The change of paradigm may in a significant way redefine the way of perceiving art created at the turn of the 19th century. The role of this art should not be identified with the outcome of progressive tendencies of European centers but become an important voice in defining the cultural identity of the country.

The Karkonosze Massif as a part of the Sudety Mts is frequently considered as a mountain range where surficial degradation processes are most active. It is especially true for the area above the upper timber line (subalpine and alpine zone), anthropogenically altered slope surfaces and stream channels, and so far it has been proved by numerous analytical studies. However, in many of these studies the process of tree uprooting has not been takien into account and the forest belt zone has been rarely a subject of detailed geomorphological research. Results of the present study suggest that tree uprooting, in the Karkonosze Mts mostly caused by frequent episodes of high foehn winds, is probably the most important single factor of biomechanical alteration of soil mantle in the upper forest belt of the massif. It is also an agent which initiates further geomorphological processes within root plates and tree throw pits, as well as changes of pedogenetic meaning, including regressive remodeling of soils.

Karkonosze są masywem w granicach Sudetów, w którym powierzchniowe procesy degradacyjne są najbardziej aktywne. Dotyczy to przede wszystkim obszarów powyżej górnej granicy lasu, powierzchni stoków przekształconych antropogenicznie i koryt rzecznych. W dotychczasowych badaniach nie brano pod uwagę procesu saltacji wykrotowej, a domena morfogenetyczna piętra leśnego rzadko była przedmiotem szczegółowych analiz geomorfologicznych. Wyniki prezentowanych tu badań sugerują, że saltacja wykrotowa powodowana przede wszystkim przez częste epizody wiatru fenowego jest prawdopodobnie najważniejszym czynnikiem prowadzącym do biomechanicznego przekształcania pokryw stokowych w reglu górnym Karkonoszy. Może być czynnikiem inicjującym nie tylko szereg dalszych procesów geomorfologicznych (erozji, odpadania, osypywania i in.) w obrębie karp i zagłębień posaltacyjnych, ale również glebotwórczych, w tym regresyjnego przemodelowania profili glebowych.

The Karkonosze Mountains (Giant Mts.) are a famous tourist region in the Sudety Mountains. One reason for this popularity is the geovalues connected with geotourism – which is a new form of tourism. The aim of this study is to assess the tourist attractiveness of 52 geosites in the Karkonosze Geopark. The assessment was done by using criteria of four other methods. The geosites of the Karkonosze Mountains are divided into four groups: most attractive, attractive, averagely attractive and not very attractive. Through this grouping a typology classification of the geosites was created. The results should lead to better management of geotourism in the Karkonosze Mountains.

The article is devoted to the earliest period (17th–18th centuries) of treks to Śnieżka in the Karkonosze Mountains. The period ended with the first manifestations of pre-Romantic and Romantic interest in the mountain (Caspar David Friedrich, Theodor Körner, Kazimierz Brodziński), which will not be discussed here. The author analyses entries in the Śnieżka guest books published in 1737 in Jelenia Góra as Vergnügte und unvergnügte Reisen auf das Weltberuffene Schlesische RiesenGebirge welche von 1696 bis 1737. Theils daselbst den Allerhöchsten zu preisen, theils die erstaunenden Wunder der Natur zu betrachten, theils sich eine Gemüthsvergnügung oder Leibesbewegung zu machen, theils den beruffenen Riebezahl auszukundschafften, von allerhand Liebhabern angestellet worden sind. Die sich den zu einem beständigen Andenken in die daselbst befindlichen Schneekoppen-Bücher Namentlich und meistens mit beyläufigen merkwündigen Gedanken in gebundener Rede eingeschrieben haben. Auf vieles Verlangen heraus gegeben, und mit einigen bekannten und unbekannten Historien von dem abentheurlichen Rieben-Zahl vergesellschaftet. Nebst einer Vorrede: Von den Wundern, Schönheiten, Vortrefflichkeiten und der natürlichen Beschaffenheit dieser Gebirge. Drawing on selected quotes the author has compiled a preliminary typology of the behaviour of tourists in the past as well as their reactions to the landscape. The article also depicts some elements of customs that emerged in Samuel’s Hut on the Złótówka Meadow, the last shelter provided for those heading for Śnieżka.

Strzecha Akademicka jest jednym z najstarszych i najbardziej znanych schronisk Karkonoszy. Autor artykułu stara się odpowiedzieć na pytanie o to, czy w dobie wypoczynku opartego na maksymalizacji doświadczeń i bodźców jest ona, wraz z pozostałymi schroniskami, w stanie przyciągnąć nowych turystów. Szukając odpowiedzi, przedstawił historię schroniska, jego przebudowy, poruszył problemy prawne i związane ze statusem obiektu, a także oczekiwania turystów. Po takiej analizie pokusił się o wniosek, że przy optymalnej współpracy organów administracyjnych można dostosować obiekt do ergonomicznego pełnienia aktualnej i nowych funkcji.

Strzecha Akademicka is one of the oldest and best known shelters in the Giant Mountains. The author of the article tries to answer the question of whether in the era of relaxation, based on the maximization of experiences and stimuli, Strzecha Akademicka together with other shelters are able to attract new tourists. Searching for the answer, he presented the history of building, its reconstructions, raised legal problems and related to the status of the facility, as well as the expectations of modern tourists. After such an analysis, he attempted to conclude that, with optimal cooperation of administrative offices, the facility could be adapted to the ergonomic fulfillment of current and new functions.

The author presents to the readers a 19th-century account of a journey to the Giant Mountains (Karkonosze mountains). It was written by Stanisław Bełza, who noted down his impressions from a 1893 expedition to the Giant Mountains. The account is examined in its function of both a guidebook and an artistic description of the author’s experiences in the mountains.

Background. The Karkonosze Mountains enjoy great popularity as they try to satisfy various preferences of tourists visiting this region. Identification of these preferences is helpful to improve the tourism product. A survey carried out directly on a trail is claimed to be the best way to know tourist preferences. Materials and methods. The aim of this study is to identify tourist preferences in the Karkonosze region. The questionnaire respondents were asked to fill out included questions about their motives and length of the visit, preferred tourist attractions, weaknesses of Karpacz and Szklarska Poręba, transportation within the region, quality of guide service, accommodation and gastronomic facilities. Results. The research gave rise to creation of a perfect tourism product for individual tourism in a summer season. Conclusion. It occurred that comprehensive residence services with Internet access are most preferred. A flexible and wide range of pastimes and transportation within the region also play a significant role.

Artykuł został poświęcony architekturze czterech uważanych za najstarsze karkonoskich schronisk – Pod Łabskim Szczytem, Strzesze Akademickiej, Samotni oraz Schronisku im. Bronka Czecha. Celem pracy jest ukazanie nieprzemijających walorów ich architektury, dla której inspiracją była rodzima tradycja budowlana. Po 1945 r. wiele sudeckich schronisk przestało istnieć, a te, które przetrwały do dziś, borykają się często z podstawowymi problemami – brakiem koniecznych remontów, właściwej opieki konserwatorskiej czy stosunkowo niedużym ruchem turystycznym. W publikacji zwrócono także uwagę na potrzebę kontynuacji w nowo projektowanych budynkach o funkcji turystycznej rodzimych wątków architektury, w celu przywrócenia przerwanej po 1945 r. ciągłości kulturowej.

The article is devoted to the architecture of four Giant Mountains shelters, which are considered to be the oldest, i.e., Pod Łabskim Szczytem, Strzecha Akademicka, Samotnia and Bronek Czech’s Shelter. The purpose of the study aims at showing the timeless values of their architecture inspired by native construction tradition. After 1945, many Sudetes shelters ceased to exist and those that have survived to this day often face fundamental problems – lack of necessary renovations, proper conservation care or relatively small tourist traffic. The publication also draws attention to the need to continue native architectural themes in newly designed buildings with a tourist function in order to restore cultural continuity that was interrupted after 1945.

Stretching over ca 36 km, the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše/Karkonosze) range is a natural border between Silesia and Bohemia, today between Poland and the Czech Republic. In the late Middle Ages and the beginning of the early modern period, i.e. when the highest range of the Sudetes separated two provinces of the Kingdom of Bohemia, its role as border mountains was notas important, although it was precisely a border dispute between Bohemian (Harrach) and Silesian (Schaffgotsch) lords of these lands that increased interest in the region, laying the foundations, in a way, for the development of tourism in the future. Side effects of the border dispute included St. Lawrence Chapel on Śnieżka and spread of the popularity of the source of the Elbe, i.e. sites that have remained the most frequently visited spots in these mountains to this day. Around the mid-18th century, when, as a result of wars, most Silesia was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia, the Giant Mountains border grew in importance. From that moment the highest range of the Sudetes would separate lands ruled by two different dynasties — the Austro-Bohemian Habsburgs and the Prussian Hohenzollerns, with two different and hostile religions — Catholic and Lutheran. Having become more significant, the border began to appear in literary works, from Enlightenment period travel accounts to popular novels. The author of the present article discusses literary images of this border, using several selected examples.

In the history of European tourism the Giant Mountains (Karkonosze) occupy a unique place thanks to the Chapel of St. Lawrence, funded by Count Christoph Leopold Schaffgotsch and located on the summit of Śnieżka. Its construction in the Habsburg dominions in the turbulent period of the Counter-Reformation was meant to finally put an end to the Silesian-Bohemian border dispute and become a visible sign of Catholic rule over the highest mountain range of the two neighbouring countries. The construction of the chapel also marked the beginning of tourism in the highest range of the Sudetes; initially, its nature was religious and focused on pilgrimages to the summit of Śnieżka, featuring, in addition to local inhabitants, also sanatorium visitors to Cieplice (Warmbrunn), which was owned by the Schaffgotschs. After the three Silesian Wars, as a result of which the lands to the north of the mountains were separated from the Habsburgs’ Kingdom of Bohemia, the situation in the region changed radically. The Counter-Reformation pressure ceased and the Lutherans began to grow in importance, supported as they were by the decidedly pro-Protestant Prussian state, governed by its tolerant monarch. The period was also marked by an unprecedented growth in the literature on the Giant Mountains — there were poems (Tralles), nature studies (Volkmar) and travel accounts (GutsMuths, Troschel and others) written about the highest range of the Sudetes. A special role among these writings was played by works aimed at introducing the public from the capital Berlin to the new province of the Kingdom of Prussia, especially to the mountains, so exotic from the point of view of the “groves and sands” of Brandenburg. These publications were written primarily by Lutheran clergymen, which was not without significance to the nature of the works. This was also a time when the first guidebooks to the Giant Mountains were written, with many of their authors also coming from the same milieu. What emerges from this image is a kind of confessionalisation of tourism in the highest mountains of Silesia and Bohemia: on the one hand there are mass Catholic pilgrimages and on the other — a new type of individual tourists who, with a book in hand, traverse mountain paths in a decidedly more independent fashion.

The note concerns Jadwiga and Tadeusz Kuta private theatre, Teatr Nasz (Our theatre), which performs in the Karkonosze village of Michałowice. The actors sold their possessions in the city and decided to settle in the mountains, giving up their comfortable jobs in an institutional theatre. Twenty-five years ago they erected a wooden theatre building, a restaurant and cottages for guests in Michałowice. Their spectators flee cities in order to find some rest in Michałowice, and watch cabaret, comedy and musical shows. They also undergo a humor therapy, as it were, and experience the refreshing influence of the mountains.

Przemysław Wiater PhD was a historian, art historian, museum curator, and a regionalist. In 1994–2020, he worked as a certified curator at the Carl and Gerhart Hauptmann House in Szklarska Poręba. In February 2020, he became Director of the Karkonosze Museum in Jelenia Góra. Furthermore, in 2008–2017, he ran courses at the Higher School of Management in Legnica. Committed to recovering historic monuments from Lower Silesia, he also served as a councillor for several terms of office in Szklarska Poręba, where he lived. An outstanding regionalist, Wiater focused on investigating the history of Lower Silesia, particularly the Karkonosze and Izera Mountains. He was the first to undertake research into the local tangible and non-tangible cultural heritage, popularizing it in publications describing the history of Szklarska Poręba, Walloon mineral and gem prospectors, old herbalists and laborants, history of glassworks, or the figure and legend of the Spirit of the Mountains. Having discovered the phenomenon of artistic colonies, he popularized it and adapted to harmonize with contemporary times. His idea was to culturally integrate the region basing on historical cultural contents and the heritage imported by post- -WW II settlers. Sharing his knowledge in a popular way, he infected others with his passion, particularly young people to whom he provided support and inspiration. It was at his instigation that the W.E. Peuckert Guild of the Sudety Mountains Guides was formed; member of the Chapter of the Sudety Mountains Walloon Brotherhood, he was also the knight of the informal Society of the Evening Castle, additionally cooperating with the Izery Society. Originator of the Izery Retro Run and the Flannel Rally, he inspired the formation of several tourist routes, such as the ‘Juliusz Naumonowicz Walloon Hiking Trail’, contributing to the creation of the ‘W.E. Peuckert Trail’ and the Polish-Czech ‘Laborants’ Trail’.
