Ciecień, Mountain summit in Beskid Wyspowy range, Poland.
Ciecień rises 829 meters above sea level with a north-south ridge formation that differs from surrounding mountains in the Beskid Wyspowy range.
The mountain, first documented in 1365 as Czeczen, later served as hunting grounds for King Władysław Łokietek and provided shelter for Home Army partisans.
The mountain's name comes from local dialect, referring to the distinct indentation between its two peaks, with earlier names including Łysa Góra and Goła Góra.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit from Wiśniowa, Szczyrzyc, and Poznachowice Górne, with the shortest route taking approximately one hour from Przełęcz Wierzbanowska.
The meadow below the summit functions as a takeoff point for paragliders, offering views toward Babia Góra and the surrounding valleys.
