Klimczok, Mountain summit in Silesian Beskids, Poland.
Klimczok is a mountain summit in the Silesian Beskids reaching 1,117 meters elevation. Dense beech and spruce forests cloak its slopes, descending toward the Białka Valley below.
The mountain was known as Goryczna Skałka in the 19th century, with caves that inspired local legends about banditry. This history connected the peak to the broader tradition of highland life in the region.
The mountain summit serves as an administrative border between two municipalities, Bielsko-Biała and Szczyrk, representing regional territorial divisions.
A mountain shelter sits about 700 meters east of the summit, offering 38 beds across 8 rooms with bathrooms. It serves traditional Polish food and makes a useful base for hikers exploring the area.
Winter snow accumulation here can reach about 1 meter thick and typically lasts more than four months. This extended snowy season sets the peak apart from surrounding mountains in the region.
