(Air temperature below -3 deg C, elevation 547m, water temperature 0.5 deg C)
An extreme ice bath session at a fraction above zero degrees C. A natural mountain pool where the water doesn't freeze only because it is constantly running! Like "wind chill", this "flow chill" factor makes this cold feel even more extreme. The good news is that it can truly make you healthier and stronger.

At this point the weather looked ok and we thought we would have a clear summit. But then....

Some way out from the summit the weather came in. High winds, ice blowing, with visibility getting to only a few metres at one point. Ice formed on facial hair and particularly aggressively on leg hairs. We had approached from the more exposed and steeper side - the last section was steep and very icy making for quite a challenge. We were happy to descend by the more conventional and winding route!
Mount Snezka straddles Poland and Czechia almost precisely down the middle. So you can set foot in both countries the same day.

The water was colder than I had anticipated due to recent snow fall in the blue mountains. This made for a particularly envigorating experience. This is further exaggerated by the power of the water. "Brain freeze" may be an understatement!

Located at the foot of Mt Canobolas is Lake Canobolas, a large tranquil lake. The lake is fed by Molong Creek whose waters flow from melting snow and rain that falls on Mt Canobolas and the surrounding Towac Valley.
