The highest peak of the Ślęży Massif and the entire Przedmieście Foothills, built mainly of granite and gabra, rising to a height of 718 m a.s.l. From the 5th to the 8th century BC it was a sacred mountain of the Lusatian tribes, and later Ślężan, most probably associated with the cult of the sun. The massif has an impressive appearance due to its considerable relative height - over 500 m. At the top there is a church, a shelter, the Millennium Cross, a TV and observation tower. People who like mysteries and riddles will definitely be interested in buried adits once hollowed out by the Germans. Interesting is also the fact that five years ago, unique in the world deposits of titanium ore were discovered here. Springs on the slopes of Ślęza have been used for centuries, initially as cult or ritual sources and now because of their taste as a source of drinking water.
