Cult sculptures in the vicinity of Mount Ślęża - marked with the sign of an oblique cross, were created in the period of 700 - 400 BC at the latest. All cult sculptures are the work of the local population of the Lusatian culture period, who erected monuments to their deities by carving stone blocks or figures of people and animals from the local granite.
The bear, often called the Ślęża bear - a stone sculpture with perfectly captured characteristics of the animal species, standing on the top of Ślęża, next to the church. He has a diagonal cross mark on his belly.

PTTK Tourist House on Mount Ślęża

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Tourist House is a different category from the PTTK shelter, which means that this building is subject to different rules than shelters. There was already a building on this site in 1837 and it has a long history. One of the more interesting rooms here was the current Knights' Hall (formerly the Ślęża Hermitage, where members of the Mountain Society met).

There is no running water here, so there is no accommodation, only a buffet.
