Stożek Wielki (Czech: Velký Stožek; literally "big cone") is a mountain on the border of Poland and the Czech Republic, in the Silesian Beskids mountain range. It reaches a height of 978 metres (3,209 ft).
The peak of the mountain has a characteristic conical shape and on its slopes grow beech and coniferous trees. It used to host a border crossing, which was eliminated in 2007 due to both countries entering the Schengen Area.
The mountain hut, located around 140 metres (460 ft) from the peak,[1] was built from the initiative of Polskie Towarzystwo Turystyczne "Beskid" (Polish Touristic Society "Beskid"). It was opened on 9 July 1922, with over four thousand visitors, national and regional government representatives, and hiking clubs in attendance.[2][3]
Stożek Wielki can be accessed by hiking trails from the nearby municipalities from both sides of the border. There is also a ski resort on the mountain, which skiers can reach using the chairlift.[4]
Through a number of hiking routes it is possible to reach other summits such as Kubalonka, Czantoria Wielka, Soszów Wielki and towns, down into Wisła, Wisła-Głębce, Istebna, Jaworzynka and Jablunkov.
The Main Beskid Trail (Polish: Główny Szlak Beskidzki), the major long distance hiking trail in the region, also crosses the peak.[5]
