Potaczkowa, Mountain summit in Gorce Mountains, Poland
The Potaczkowa summit, reaching 746 meters above sea level, features a flat peak with extensive views of the Beskid Mountains and Gorce ranges.
The name Potaczkowa originated from the Potaczek family of Podobin, who owned substantial forest areas and grazing lands in the Gorce region during the 1750s.
A millennium cross, modeled after the one on Mount Giewont, was installed at the summit of Potaczkowa in November 2000 along with a field altar.
Multiple hiking trails lead to Potaczkowa, including black-marked paths from Podobin village and green-marked routes from Olszówka, with a total length of 16 kilometers.
The steep northeastern slopes of Potaczkowa mountain attract paragliders, while golden eagles frequently nest in the surrounding area.
