Góra Krzyżowa

Góra Krzyżowa rises 354 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes with irregular rock formations and mineral deposits including analcime and aragonite.

In 1840, a local tax inspector initiated a campaign to replace the wooden cross atop the mountain with an iron one to mark the Battle of Strzegom centennial.

The mountain displays a five-meter-high cross with a zinc figure of Christ, installed in 1850, representing centuries of regional religious traditions.

The mountain offers multiple hiking trails connecting to the Karkonosze National Park, with benches and maintained paths facilitating access for visitors.

The mountain's geological structure combines Mesozoic granodiorites with Miocene basalts, creating a volcanic chimney formation that houses rare mineral deposits.
