Kostrza, Mountain peak in Beskid Wyspowy, Poland.

The mountain summit reaches 719 meters and features dense forest coverage across its elongated ridge with steep northeastern slopes and gentler inclines on other sides.

Local inhabitants previously called the peak Piwniczysko due to extensive searches conducted in the area for evidence of ancient defensive structures.

The mountain holds several natural monuments, including a protected ancient beech tree named Pan Buk measuring 5.5 meters in circumference.

The summit includes a geodetic marker in the ground and provides facilities for hikers with installed benches, tables, and an informative map of the region.

Natural depressions in the sub-summit areas connect to local folklore about an ancient settlement that supposedly sank underground with part of the mountain.
