It is about 150 kilometres from [[Prague]], the country's capital. Buses from Prague go to the town of [[Pec pod Sněžkou]], from there the tourists can walk or use the cable-way. == The mountain == There is the Czech-[[Poland|Polish]] border on the top of Sněžka. Both [[Czechs]] and [[Poles]] have their buildings on the top. The wooden chappel of St Lawrence and a new post office are in Bohemia; a big modern hotel is in [[Silesia]] (Poland). The whole area is a protected natural area. There are no trees on Sněžka because it is too high for them. Instead, there are rocks that can be dangerous to the walkers. They are recommended to wear good shoes and avoid the mountain in winter or if it is raining. {{europe-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Snezka}} [[Category:Mountains of Europe]] [[Category:Geography of the Czech Republic]] [[Category:Hradec Králové Region]]
