Kamiennik

Kamiennik is a summit 586 metres high in the Krowiarki range, part of the Śnieżnik Massif in the Eastern Sudetes.

Location in the Krowiarki

The hill lies in the north-western arm of the Śnieżnik Massif, in the eastern part of the Żelazne Mountains massif. To the south-west it joins Żeleźniak, the highest point of this part of the range, and extends towards nearby settlements to the north-east.

Structure and vegetation

Kamiennik is built of metamorphic rocks of the Lądek-Śnieżnik metamorphic complex, mainly mica schists, in places with garnets, crystalline limestones and amphibolites. North-west of the summit is a disused adit from former mining or prospecting activity, and on the north-eastern slope an active limestone quarry operates. The summit and northern ridges are covered by beech, mixed and spruce forest, while the southern ridge is covered by farmland and meadows.
