Wierzbanowska Góra, Mountain summit in Beskid Wyspowy, Poland.
Wierzbanowska Góra is a 778-meter peak in the Beskid Wyspowy with an elongated ridge and multiple summits situated between two main passes. The terrain shows the characteristics of a broader mountain system with varied slopes and ridge formations.
The mountain once served as sheep pasture, reflecting long-standing agricultural traditions in the Western Beskids region. This land use shaped the landscape character for generations.
Villages near the mountain such as Marki and Hrasty show traditional ways of living that shape the landscape. People here maintain customs connected to the land and its slopes, visible in how they use the surrounding areas.
A red-marked hiking path starts from one of the main passes and leads to the summit with a steady climb. Rest stops are available along the route, including a shelter on the old pastureland below the peak.
Below the peak stands an old shepherd's hut called Bacówka that serves as a rest spot for hikers with southern views. From this vantage point, visitors can see across the broader mountain landscape stretching toward the distance.
