Panek, Mountain summit in Lower Silesia, Poland.
Herrleinberg is a mountain summit in Lower Silesia that rises from the surrounding landscape and offers views across valleys and neighboring ridges. The ascent passes through forested terrain with enough elevation to provide an open horizon on clear days.
The peak was marked on German maps as Herrleinberg before the region's borders were redrawn after World War II. The subsequent Polish administration introduced local naming conventions, so the mountain became known by a different designation over time.
The summit draws hikers from surrounding villages who use the mountain as part of their regular outdoor activities and local exploration. It serves as a gathering point for people seeking connection with the natural landscape of the region.
The summit is best reached via well-marked hiking trails starting from nearby villages and passing through stable forest paths. Sturdy footwear and basic hiking gear are needed since the terrain can be steep and occasionally slippery.
Local hikers favor this peak because the ascent passes through different forest types that shift noticeably with the seasons. This vegetative variety makes each visit feel different depending on when you go.
