Krzyżanka, Hill summit in Koszalin, Poland.
Krzyżanka is a hill that rises to 136.2 meters above sea level and represents the highest elevation in the surrounding area. An observation tower from 1888 stands about 31.5 meters high on its summit and currently functions as a broadcasting station.
The site has medieval origins, revealed through archaeological excavations in 1906 that uncovered foundations of a cross-shaped chapel along with human remains and ancient coins. These discoveries show that this hill was an important religious location for centuries.
The chapel sits on the summit and draws people seeking a quiet place of prayer and reflection with its image of the Mother of God. Visitors come to feel connected to generations of people who have visited this spot for spiritual reasons.
The hill is easy to access and offers visitors good views from its height. The tower at the summit can be viewed from outside, and the location is reachable on foot.
A massive granite boulder weighing about 10 tons sits on the summit, carved with crosses and the city coat of arms. It was placed as a memorial to those who participated in the November Uprising and is an unexpected sight for visitors.
