Łysica, Mountain summit in Świętokrzyskie Mountains, Poland.
Description
Łysica rises to 614 meters and is the highest point of the Świętokrzyskie mountain range in central Poland. The mountain features two distinct peaks and is covered by dense coniferous forests.
History
An old abbey stands at the mountain's base, built on land where a pagan temple once stood before Poland's conversion to Christianity in the 10th century. The site reflects the religious transformation of the region.
Culture
The mountain is part of the Crown of Polish Mountains, a collection of the highest peaks from different mountain ranges across the country. Many hikers visit to complete this special list of summits.
Practical
Marked hiking trails run across the mountain slopes through dense coniferous forests to reach both summits. The nearby town of Święta Katarzyna serves as a convenient base with lodging options for visitors.
Did you know?
The southern slope harbors a small bog ecosystem at around 590 meters where specialized plant species have adapted to waterlogged soil. This wetland area creates a striking contrast to the dry coniferous forests found elsewhere on the mountain.
