Mount Ślęża is the highest peak of the Sudeten Foothills at 717.5 meters above sea level, located near the town of Sobótka in southwestern Poland. The mountain served as a pagan solar worship center from the Bronze Age until Christianization in the 10th-11th centuries, with ancient stone sculptures including "the maiden with fish," "the monk," and "the bear" still visible today.

A 12th-century church now stands on the summit alongside a concrete observation tower, while the PTTK tourist shelter provides accommodation for hikers exploring the well-marked trail network.
