Bryjarka, Mountain peak in Beskid Sądecki range, Poland
Description
Bryjarka is a mountain peak in the Beskid Sadecki range at 679 meters elevation. It rises 230 meters above the Grajcarka valley floor and marks the end of a side ridge extending from the Radziejowa range.
History
The peak takes its name from agricultural fields that once existed near the summit. A wooden cross was installed in 1860 and later replaced with sturdier metal versions.
Culture
The summit cross, first installed in 1860, marks this peak as a place of quiet reflection where visitors come to take in the surrounding landscape. The mountain draws people seeking moments of contemplation overlooking the Grajcarka valley below.
Practical
The climb from Szczawnica takes about 40 minutes on marked trails, while starting from Dzwonkowka requires approximately 75 minutes. Both starting points are easily accessible with clearly marked routes throughout.
Did you know?
The southern slope contains rare magmatic rocks called Pieniny andesites that support uncommon communities of acidophilic mosses and lichens. This geological formation was first documented in 1832 and shapes the unique plant life found here.
