Climate and winter conditions in Zieleniec
In the case of Zieleniec, skiing and atmospheric conditions are closely linked to its mountainous location. It is primarily an area with high altitude — it stretches between 800—960 m above sea level. Situated directly on the eastern slope of the Orlické Mountains, between Šerlich and Orlica, it is exposed to strong winds, which contribute to the formation of extremely low pressure in this area, characteristic of areas above 3,000 m above sea level and averaging about 630 mmHg.
Staying in Zieleniec, under such conditions, may have a health-promoting dimension — at such pressure values, there is an increased production of red blood cells in the body, which is associated with faster removal of unnecessary metabolic products and better oxygenation of tissues and organs.
