Góra Krzyżowa, Mountain peak in Strzegom Hills, Poland.
Góra Krzyżowa is a mountain peak in the Strzegom Hills that rises approximately 354 meters above sea level. The slopes display irregular rock formations and contain rare minerals such as analcime and aragonite within its structure.
A wooden cross was replaced with an iron construction in 1840 to commemorate the Battle of Strzegom centennial. The zinc Christ figure was added in 1850 and has remained atop the mountain as a regional landmark.
The cross with its Christ figure has shaped religious life in the region for generations. It serves as a pilgrimage site where visitors climb to pray and reflect on faith traditions.
The mountain is accessible via several maintained hiking trails with benches placed along the routes for rest stops. The paths connect to surrounding areas, offering visitors different ways to reach the summit.
The mountain was formed by a rare geological combination where ancient granite-type rocks meet younger volcanic basalt. This arrangement created a natural volcanic chimney within the structure that concentrates unusual mineral formations.
