Pierścienica, Mountain summit in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland.
Pierścienica is a 367 m summit in the Pasmo Posłowickie of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, within the Chęcińsko-Kielecki landscape park. Its slopes hold a 500 m beginner ski run, 50 to 22 m wide with a 58 m height difference, served by a double T-bar lift. A panorama over Kielce opens from the top.
The northern slope holds a monument to about 1,000 people murdered by the Germans between 1939 and 1944. A ski jump with a K-60 construction point, used by jumpers of Budowlani Kielce, once stood on the hill; neglect led to its partial destruction and it was demolished on 19 September 2006. The hill is still called "Skocznia" after it.
Locals call the summit "Skocznia" after a K-60 ski jump used by jumpers of Budowlani Kielce, which fell into disrepair and was demolished on 19 September 2006. The name survives in everyday speech even though the structure is gone.
The blue trail crosses the summit between Chęciny and Łagów. The lower ski-lift station starts the yellow walking loop around Kielce, and the upper station starts a black trail to Szczepaniaka street. The 500 m beginner ski slope, 50 to 22 m wide with a 58 m height difference, is lit, snow-covered and groomed, served by a double T-bar lift.
