Włodarz

Włodarz is a mountain peak in the Owl Mountains reaching 800 meters, surrounded by dense forest with an extensive network of trails. The landscape shows clear evidence of past mining activity with open areas and depressions marking where ore was once extracted.

Mining around this peak became a major industry during the industrial period, with operations extracting iron ore and copper from the mountain and surrounding area. The remains of these operations shaped the landscape permanently and influenced settlement patterns in the region.

The surrounding villages have deep roots in mining traditions that shape how people view and use this landscape today. You can see this connection in local crafts and in how residents speak about the mountain as part of their identity.

Several marked trails begin from parking areas in nearby towns and lead up the mountain with clear signage throughout the route. Local information centers in surrounding villages can provide maps and advise on which paths suit your fitness level and available time.

The rock formations here display geological layers that are millions of years old, shaped by natural weathering and erosion long before mining began. These ancient stone patterns are still visible today and tell the story of how the mountain formed over deep time.
