Czarna Góra

Czarna Góra is a 790-meter summit in Beskid Mały, known for distinctive sandstone rock formations called Tumakowe Skały that rise through dense forest covering the slopes. The peak marks a geographical boundary between Las in Silesian Voivodeship and Targoszów in Lesser Poland Voivodeship.

Czarna Góra formed as part of the Beskid Mały geological range, a Carpathian section shaped by natural processes over millions of years. Evidence of human activities from ancient times indicates that the region has been utilized by settlements for a considerable period.

The name Czarna Góra means "Black Mountain" in Polish, referring to the dark coloring of rocks visible on the slopes. Visitors can still find remnants of ancient stone structures near the summit that hint at past human presence in this mountain region.

The mountain is accessible via a green-marked hiking trail that crosses the southwestern slopes and connects the villages of Krzeszów and Targoszów. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and prepare for wooded terrain, particularly during wet weather.

From the nearby fields of Snokówka settlement, visitors can enjoy a remarkable panoramic view of several prominent mountain peaks in the Beskids, including Babia Góra and Pilsko. This vantage point is often overlooked but offers one of the most comprehensive views of the surrounding mountain landscape.
