Łosek, Mountain summit in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
Description
Łosek is a mountain summit in the Makowski Beskid range in Silesian Voivodeship, standing at 868 meters with forest-covered slopes. The peak overlooks multiple surrounding valleys, and a student lodge near the top provides shelter for hikers passing through.
History
The mountain's name was documented by local author Andrzej Komoniecki, who corrected earlier maps that had mistakenly called it Lasek. This correction established the proper name in regional records.
Culture
Two flower-decorated chapels and a cross stand along the hiking path above Mierniccy settlement, reflecting how local faith traditions shape the mountain landscape.
Practical
Established trails from Przyborów take roughly one and a half hours to reach the summit, with routes varying from easy to more strenuous. Proper hiking boots and weather-appropriate clothing are important regardless of the season you choose to visit.
Did you know?
From near the peak, visitors find wide views stretching across multiple mountains from Jaworzyna to Lachów Groń in the distance. Clear days reveal a panorama that connects several mountain ranges in a single sweep.
