Mountains near Borowice are three peaks of different rank: Smogornia on the Giant Mountains ridge, and Wierzchnica and Wilczak in the foothills.
Smogornia is about 1,491 metres high and lies by the Polish-Czech border, not directly accessible to tourists. The measuring point is at 1,488.6 metres, which is why guides usually give 1,489 metres. The border runs some dozens of metres south of the summit, but the top itself is on the Polish side.
Wierzchnica is 649 metres high and lies in the Karkonosze Foothills between Przesieka, Borowice and Sosnówka. It is built of Karkonosze granite, and on the western slopes you can see the formations Dziki and Szachownica. Wilczak, 707 metres, is wooded and lies east of Borowice. The approach from any side leads through stream ravines. All three carry the free, views, nature and solo tags.
The full overview of the village is on the Borowice attractions page, and mountains from the whole region are gathered in mountains in Lower Silesia. Wierzchnica belongs to a ridge running from Młynarz through Warzelnia and Bukowna to Lisiura and Podgórzynka. Wilczak lies in the heart of the Jelenia Góra Basin, between the Czerwonka and Jelenia Struga valleys. Check the approach before you set out.
