Autumn in the mountains is particularly picturesque. As soon as the leaves begin to change color, you can take a backpack with you and go on a trip of several days. Where is it worth going to the mountains in autumn? For example, in Orlické Mountains, where there is no shortage of eye-catching views and interesting attractions. For this it is vain to look for crowds, which cannot be said about other places in Poland.
When does autumn start in the mountains?
Golden Polish autumn in the mountains begins just after the holiday season. September, October and November are months full of beautiful, sunny days, ideal for hiking. The transparency of the air is then best, and the trees sparkle with a variety of rainbow colors. Polish mountains in autumn are even a guarantee of picturesque views.
However, even at this time of year, you can't necessarily count on the lack of company of other people on the trail. In popular tourist regions, such as the Tatra Mountains or the Bieszczady Mountains, hundreds of people also pass through the routes after the season. Of course, not everyone is bothered by crowds. But when you want a more intimate holiday, you have to bet on a lesser known direction. So the question arises, where to go to the mountains in autumn to avoid the crowds of tourists?
Mountains in autumn — where to go?
Autumn in the mountains has different names. Some places are much more popular than others, but there are also some that, although they do not attract crowds, deserve a lot of attention. One of them is the Orlicke Mountains located in the Central Sudetes. Picturesque, calm, even deserted in autumn, they are an ideal proposition for people looking for respite surrounded by nature.
Autumn in the Orlické Mountains — why is it the most beautiful?
1. Delightful colors of autumn mountains
The Orlické Mountains undoubtedly delight in autumn. As soon as summer ends and the leaves on the trees begin to take on shades of rotten red, yellow and brown, their panorama looks as good as ever. Especially the extremely wooded Orlica is breathtaking, so climbing it should be a must-have point of the autumn excursion. The presence of trees on this top does not mean at all that picturesque views are not to be expected. On Orlica there is a 25.5 m high tower, which offers a beautiful panorama of the entire area. In good weather, even the Bystrzyckie Mountains and the Table Mountains National Park can be seen from it. The golden autumn in the Orlické Mountains admired from the top of Orlica looks really special — it is worth seeing for yourself.
2. No crowds in the mountains in autumn
As already mentioned, autumn in the Orlické Mountains is not a period when crowds of tourists meet on the trail. Anyway, no time of year is associated with such crowds as in the Tatra Mountains or the Giant Mountains. However, as soon as the holidays end and people return to work and schools, the frequency of hiking definitely decreases. The routes shine with voids, and nature is even more beautiful. Tourists who care about relaxing in absolute peace and quiet will certainly appreciate such an autumn in the mountains.
3. Lower low season prices
Going to the mountains in autumn is also worth considering due to lower costs of organization. In the low season, many hotels, tourist facilities and restaurants fall off the price due to less interest. This is the perfect opportunity to save a bit while enjoying the maximum benefit from exploring the trails. After all, what, but autumn in the Orlické Mountains has a lot to offer.
4. Greater choice of accommodation
There are many places — better and worse — which are an ideal starting point in the Orlickie Mountains. Autumn is the time of year that gives much more room to show off in the selection of the latter. Not only because of low prices, but also better availability. Objects of interest to tourists during the high season are most often booked well in advance. In turn, in autumn they most often have free rooms, which is a sin not to take advantage of.
