Przełęcz pod Wieżycą

Mountain Pass

Wieżyca Summit

Highlight • Monument

A 415-meter peak, crowned by a 15-meter stone observation tower , known as Bismarck Tower. The mountain is geologically composed of dark green amphibolites with varied crystal sizes, and archaeological remains of prehistoric cult ramparts can still be found on its northern and eastern slopes.

After World War II, the peak was temporarily renamed Kościuszko Mountain, and today it features distinct vegetation zones with beech-linden forests on the north slope and ancient stunted oak groves on the south slope.

Bear and Maiden with Fish Sculptures on Mount Ślęża

Highlight • Monument

The "Maiden with Fish" is a Celtic cult statue from the La Tène period (circa 400-200 BCE) carved from local granodiorite and standing about 2.2 meters tall, located near the summit of Mount Ślęża in Poland. The anthropomorphic sculpture depicts a human figure holding a large fish (likely a trout or salmon) vertically against their chest, though the statue is missing its head, neck, right arm, and parts of the legs due to erosion over time.

The statue was rediscovered in 1733 by Gottfried Heinrich Burghart in a rocky debris field on the northern slope of Ślęża, possibly in its original location which may have been a main cult site.

Tourist Shelter in Ślężański Landscape Park

Quite a large, roofed tourist shelter. Beeds and tables inside. It protects against the sun (checked!) And against rain (presumably)

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.
