The peak Velký Sošov

The peak Velký Sošov (885m) rises up at a frontier area with Poland in Silesian Beskydy south-east from the village Nýdek. A small highland settlement formed especially by summer cottages is situated on the north top hillside. There is a ski slope near the east edge of the settlement and in Poland. The yellow and blue tourist tracks are parting just on the top of the mountain. The blue tourist track leads from Velká Čantoryje and goes further along the frontier to saddle Gruníček.

There is a very nice view over the surrounding mountains and the villages in the valley from the top.
