Ślęża, Mountain summit in Lower Silesia, Poland.

The Ślęża mountain rises 718 meters above sea level, standing as the highest peak of the Sudeten Foreland in southwestern Poland.

Mount Ślęża functioned as a sacred place for Pagan tribes of the Lusatian culture during the Neolithic Period, with settlements dating to the 7th century BC.

The name of the region Silesia potentially originates from Mount Ślęża, connecting to the ancient Silingi tribes who inhabited the surrounding territories.

A network of marked trails leads to the summit, which features a mountain hut, church, castle ruins, and an observation tower for visitors.

The mountain peak contains a 136-meter television and radio transmission tower constructed in 1972, replacing an earlier structure from 1957.
