Spring in the mountains – discover the spring package at Pakoszów Palace

Spring in the mountains has something special. In the Karkonosze in spring you can feel the freshness in the air, the sun warms up more boldly, and the trails become quieter and more peaceful than in summer. Snow slowly gives way to the first flowers, the valleys fill with lush green, and mountain streams run faster after the winter thaws.

This is the perfect time for active rest. Spring daytime temperatures in the Karkonosze usually range from 8 to 18°C. It is crisp, but pleasant in sunny weather. Longer days invite walks and hikes, and smaller crowds allow you to really feel connected to nature.

That is why spring in the Karkonosze is a great time for a short, regenerating getaway.

5* hotel in the heart of the mountains – history and location of Pałac Pakoszów

Pałac Pakoszów is a 5-star hotel located in Piechowice, in the very heart of the Karkonosze. It is surrounded by a park of over 14 hectares with ponds, mature trees and walking paths. A walk in the garden alone gives the impression that time slows down.

The palace has a long and interesting history. In the 18th century a linen bleaching works operated here, and over time the building became a representative residence. Romantic stories, family tales and artistic inspirations have passed through these walls for years. Today the place blends the elegance of a bygone era with modern comfort.
