Pisary in the Śnieżnik Massif: Opacz on the Czech border, Kopalniana Góra and the neo-Gothic Church of St Wenceslas from 1859.
Opacz is 741 m high and lies about 3 kilometres north-east of the centre of Pisary, in Śnieżnik Landscape Park. It is a dome-shaped hill with steep slopes, built of Śnieżnik gneiss and covered with spruce forest. The summit itself falls on the border pass between Poland and Czechia, where a small chapel stands. A green trail crosses the top, and a red one also serves the place. Entry is free, and the walk suits a solo outing.
Kopalniana Góra is 700 m high and rises above a bend of the Nysa Kłodzka, near Potoczek. Spruce forest of the lower montane zone covers the slopes. Despite the name, sources confirm no traces of a mine, no marked trails to the top and no origin of the name. If you plan to climb it, check the route in advance.
The Church of St Wenceslas is a small branch church of the parish of St Anne in Boboszów. It was built in 1859 in the neo-Gothic style and has been rebuilt since 1998. Beside the church stand two historic stone-and-metal sculpture groups showing the crucifixion: one from the end of the 19th century, the other, in front of the cemetery chapel, from 1800. Both were entered in the register of monuments in 2007.
