High mountain conditions are beneficial for people with bronchial asthma. Clean air, free from allergens, significantly improves the health of people who often catch infections. Staying in high mountains also has a good effect on the skin of people with atopic dermatitis. After a long winter, more and more sun appears in the mountains, which has a beneficial effect on the health and well-being of residents and tourists. Increasingly high temperatures encourage spending time outdoors.

One of them is the Wlastimil Hofman Trail expedition organized by the Karkonosze Museum under the patronage of the mayor of Szklarska Poręba. It starts on April 23, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. at the PKP railway station in Szklarska Poręba Górna.
The program included visiting an exhibition at the home of Wlastimil Hofman, a Polish painter and representative of symbolism. The son of a Polish mother and a Czech father proudly emphasized that he felt Polish. He graduated with distinction from the Kraków School of Fine Arts. After the war, he and his wife Ada settled in Kraków. In 1947, at the urging of their friend Jan Sztaudynger, they moved to Szklarska Poręba, seeking peace and quiet. The Hofmans settled in a small wooden house on a forest road, then called Spokojna Street, which was later renamed J. Matejki Street.
Their house called "Wastimilówka" still stands today and is an attempt to reflect the interior of the painter's home. It presents original furniture brought from his home in Krakow, objects and clothes, painting accessories and, above all, paintings that decorated the artist's house. The tour program also includes an entrance to Złoty Widok. It is a famous viewpoint of the Karkonosze Mountains and Szklarska Poręba and a place of rest. In 2020, renovation works were carried out there, during which new protective barriers, comfortable and beautiful loungers and seats were installed. Apartment in Szklarska Poręba allows for comfortable living, relaxation and sightseeing in the area.
