Wilcza Góra, Volcanic summit in Pogórze Kaczawskie, Poland
Located between Złotoryja and Jerzmanice-Zdrój, Wilcza Góra rises to 367 meters, featuring radial basalt columns formed during the Middle Miocene period.
The mountain reveals traces of volcanic activity from 15.5 million years ago, with exposed Upper Cretaceous sandstones intermingled within basalt deposits.
The name Wilcza Góra translates to Wolf Mountain in Polish, reflecting the regional connections to wolf populations that once inhabited the area.
A nature reserve of 1.69 hectares protects rare plant species, including Common Fern, Wall Rue, and Northern Scaling Fern growing in basalt crevices.
The mountain contains a distinctive Lavarosette formation, displaying a star-shaped arrangement of volcanic columns radiating from a central point.
