Szlak JelonkówSzlak Jelonków app
Szlak Jelonków is a free mobile app – a pocket guide to Jelenia Góra. It leads you by GPS to the deer figurines scattered around the city, puts the sights of both town trails on the map and walks you through the Cieplice trails with spoken guidance. The map works with no signal. Android and iPhone.

How the app works
-
Find the deer outdoors
The app guides you by GPS to the deer sculptures. Come within thirty metres and the figurine is “discovered”. A walking route to the one you picked is a single tap away.
-
Descriptions and trivia
Each deer comes with its story and trivia about the place it stands by.
-
Collect discoveries and badges
Every figurine you find lands in your collection – the trail passport – with a “Found it!” animation. Badges come on top: for districts, for streaks, for walking a trail end to end.
-
Sights on the map
A second map layer: the points of both Jelenia Góra town trails – churches, palaces, parks, monuments. Each with a description and photos to read on the spot.
-
Walking trails with a voice
Five routes around Cieplice and through the town centre. The phone tells you how much is left, warns about stretches that follow a roadway and speaks up when you leave the trail – even with the screen off.
-
Plan a walk
Ready-made variants – from two hours with children to three days – or a route worked out on the spot to the nearest figurines you have not found yet.
-
Offline map
The map is downloaded once on first launch, so it works in the field without a signal – useful in the mountains. Sculpture photos load online.
-
Postcards and photo souvenirs
At a figurine you can take your own photo, which stays in the collection, and turn it into a framed postcard – to save to your gallery or to send.
-
Four languages
The app interface is available in Polish, English, German and Czech.
-
Your journey
The app counts the distance and time covered, draws your route and unlocks the master’s stamp once you complete the collection.
-
Free, no account
The app is completely free, with no ads and no account required. Progress is saved on your device.
The app – frequently asked questions
Is the Szlak Jelonków app free?
Yes, it is completely free – no ads, no account required.
Which phones is it available on?
Android phones (Google Play) and iPhones (App Store).
Does the app work offline?
The map works offline – downloaded once on first launch, so it copes without a signal in the field (handy in the Krkonoše Mountains). Sculpture photos load online as needed.
In which languages is the app available?
The interface is available in four languages: Polish, English, German and Czech.
Do I have to create an account?
No. Progress, that is the discovered deer, is saved locally on your device.
Is there anything in the app besides the deer?
Yes. On the map you can switch on a layer of sights and attractions – the points of both Jelenia Góra town trails: churches, palaces, parks and monuments, each with a description and photos. A point is discovered like a figurine, only from further away, because some of them stand behind a gate or a wall.
Does the app guide you along walking trails?
Yes, along five: the Main Cieplice Walking Trail, the Cieplice green loop, the route to the Grave of the Unknown Priest, and the long and short Jelenia Góra town trails. The app shows your progress, warns about stretches that follow a roadway and speaks up when you leave the trail.
Do new places require an app update?
No. Descriptions, photos and new points come over the network and simply appear. An update from the store is only needed when an entirely new feature arrives.
