Łysa Góra

Łysa Góra is a summit in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains of Poland, rising to 595 meters. A striking stone run extends down the northern flank, while dense woodland covers the remaining slopes.

A Benedictine monastery was founded on the summit in 1006, serving as a pilgrimage destination for centuries. Monks kept significant relics there and shaped the religious life of the region.

The closed monastery serves as a spiritual center of Poland and has housed religious artifacts for centuries. Surrounded by deep forests at the summit, the complex now draws pilgrims and hikers alike.

Several marked trails lead upward, with the main access starting from Nowa Słupia. The ascent through the forest takes about an hour and is manageable in good weather.

A television tower from 1966 rises 157 meters above the peak and broadcasts across central Poland. The slender concrete mast remains visible far beyond the forested hills.
