Palenica, Mountain summit in Silesian Beskids, Poland

The Palenica peak rises to 688 meters above sea level and extends northward through the peaks of Wysokie and Kopany in the Błatnia Range.

The summit contains a stone embankment from 500 BCE that forms an elliptical enclosure measuring 60 by 70 meters at the mountain top.

During the 17th century, the summit served as a location for evangelical religious ceremonies, known as Forest Churches, gathering local communities.

Visitors can reach the summit by following an unmarked path that connects to the blue trail between Wysokie and Palenica peaks.

The mountain features a complex of one hundred stone mounds near the summit, with their exact purpose remaining a subject of scientific research.
