Ostrzyca, Extinct volcanic formation in Kaczawskie Foothills, Poland
The basalt mountain reaches 501 meters above sea level and features stone fields, rare plant species, and a natural forest structure.
In 1839, Friedrich Ferdinand Prentzel ordered the construction of a shelter and 445 stone steps leading to the summit for travelers.
The mountain bears inscriptions commemorating Henriette Emilia Wiggert-Prentzel and served as a potential pagan worship center during Lusatian culture.
The ascent from the parking lot to the summit takes one hour via the Yellow Trail of Extinct Volcanoes, with a 40-minute return journey.
The mountain contains the only known occurrence of thermophilic maple-linden slope forest in Poland, protected since 1962.
