Mountains in Błażejów means the Krucze range: six hills from 712 to 813 m above sea level, with the Czech frontier on the Końska Góra ridge.
How do the peaks of the Krucze Mountains rank by height?
First comes Końska Góra (813 m), second Wiązowa (800 m according to Wikipedia), third Pośrednia (789 m). Then follow Gołota (762 m) and Widok (712 m). The sixth, Owcza Głowa, has no clearly marked highest point: its top is flat and wide. All belong to the Krucze Mountains in the Central Sudetes, and the nearest settlement is Błażejów in the Kamienna Góra district. For Pośrednia and Gołota the sources name this village as the point of reference.
What do these hills have in common, and how do they differ?
Pośrednia, Wiązowa and Końska Góra are built of Permian porphyry, and Końska Góra also has rhyolitic tuff from the western wing of the Intra-Sudetic Basin. Lower montane spruce forest grows here, in places with beech. What sets them apart is position. Końska Góra sits on the border ridge, joined to Jaworowa on the north and Mrowiniec on the south. Gołota stands on the ridge between Owcza Głowa and Pośrednia. Widok sits on a ridge running north-east from Końska, and two shorter side ridges leave it, towards Golicowa Kopa and Długa Góra. Bógdał lies in its immediate neighbourhood.
How do you plan a route across the Krucze Mountains?
The easiest base is Owcza Głowa, since across its western slope run a yellow hiking trail from the Krzyżówka BHP pass to the Polish-Czech border and a green cycling trail that starts and ends in Lubawka. The sources give no marked approaches to the other summits, so rely on a map. The way to the area leads through the surroundings of Chełmsko Śląskie and Kamienna Góra. So do not choose summits from the map view alone: check how far from the road they lie and how long it takes to walk from one hill to the next. From Wiązowa to Gołota and to Końska Góra is less than a kilometre.
