SZRENICA MOUNTAIN EXPEDITION 2023
The RWS Mountain Expedition continued again this
summer, writing the brand new chapter to the story of
international meetings at the top of mountain peaks,
climbing the Szrenica Mountain (1,362m) which borders
Czechia and Poland.
This year the challenge attracted the biggest team so
far – 77 colleagues from Croatia, Czechia, Germany,
Hungary, Poland and Slovenia joined together to raise
money for the People in Need charity in Ukraine once
again.

The route, over 21km with an almost 1km altitude change,
took them through beautiful valleys, green forests,
challenging hills, next to crystal clear lakes and waterfalls,
whilst chatting to colleagues, listening to the sounds of
nature and admiring beautiful landscapes around them.
Although reporting that “sometimes your feet may think
this is acupuncture session, your lungs are just wiling
to escape your body, your legs’ muscles do tear apart
your new pants, your heartbeat thinks it is a German
autobahn, and there is not enough salt in your body to
salt your sweat” the team had a great time getting to know
each other in person and are already planning the 2024
mountain challenge.
