A 593 m summit in the Krzeszów Hills with a rebuilt Baroque St Anne's Chapel and a stretch of the former pilgrimage route from Krzeszów.
Góra Świętej Anny is a summit 593 metres above sea level in the north-western part of the Krzeszów Hills, in the Kamienna Góra Valley, in the Central Sudetes.
Below the summit, on the western side, stands a Baroque chapel dedicated to St Anne, built in 1623. The chapel was destroyed in the second half of the 20th century and rebuilt by local residents at the beginning of the 21st century. Three small wayside shrines mark a section of the former pilgrimage route leading from Krzeszów.
The summit is built of Upper Cretaceous glauconitic sandstones and mudstones, with red sandstones and conglomerates visible on the northern side. Spruce forest covers the summit and most of the ridge, with meadows stretching to the west.
The red-marked Main Sudetes Trail, linking Krzeszów with Grzędy, runs through the area. South-east of Góra Świętej Anny lies Góra Ziuty, the highest peak of the Krzeszów Hills.
At the foot of the hill, in Krzeszów, stands the Cistercian abbey with the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Elsewhere in the range, it is worth seeing Góra Ziuty, and a little further on the Devil's Club - Devil's Rock and the Dwarfs' Boulders Nature Reserve.
