Bryjarka, Mountain peak in Beskid Sądecki range, Poland

Located at 679 meters altitude, Bryjarka rises 230 meters above the Grajcarka valley floor, marking the end of a side ridge of the Radziejowa range.

The mountain received its name from agricultural fields that existed near the summit, and in 1860 locals installed a wooden cross at the peak, later replaced by metal versions.

The panoramic views from Bryjarka have drawn painters throughout history, including the notable works of Polish artist Jan Nepomucen Głowacki depicting the landscape.

Visitors can reach the summit through marked hiking trails from Szczawnica in 40 minutes or from Dzwonkówka in approximately 75 minutes.

The southern slope contains rare magmatic rocks known as Pieniny andesites, first documented in 1832, which support specific communities of acidophilic mosses and lichens.
