Ochsenkopf is a mountain summit in Lower Silesia reaching about 1024 meters in elevation. In winter, the slopes host ski runs and two chair lifts serve visitors on the snow-covered terrain.

The mountain was important during the medieval mining period and appears in documents from 1495 under the name Ochsenkopf. This German name reflects the long historical ties between different communities in the region.

The summit connects multiple communities in the region, serving as a central point for winter sports competitions and seasonal celebrations.

The site is accessible through marked trails and has good connections by public transport to nearby towns. Visit during warmer months when snow melts and paths become fully accessible for easier hiking and exploration.

The European watershed runs across this summit, dividing the flow direction of multiple rivers that originate near its base. This invisible geographical line makes it an unexpected point where two major water systems of Europe meet and separate.
