Polica, Mountain summit in Zawoja, Poland
The Polica summit reaches an elevation of 1,369 meters in the Żywiec Beskids mountain range of southern Poland near the town of Zawoja.
The northern slope of Polica marks the location of LOT Polish Airlines Flight 165 crash in April 1969, commemorated by a cross erected in the 1990s.
The mountain name Police derives from local dialects, reflecting regional linguistic traditions and the deep connection between local communities and their natural landmarks.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit throughout the year, with primary access points located near the town of Zawoja.
Between 1918 and 1920, the Polica summit served as a natural border point between Poland and Czechoslovakia during territorial changes after World War I.
