a two-summited peak on the border with the Czech Republic, built of Permian porphyritic tuffs
a mountain of the Suche Mountains built of Permian porphyries, formerly called Schüsselberg
The mountains around Sokołowsko are six peaks of the Suche and Stone ranges, from Garniec to Suchawa, with the Czech border on Kozina.
If height matters, head for Suchawa: 928 m above sea level, in the western part of the Suche Mountains. Nearly as high are Kostrzyna (906 m) and Włostowa, which has two summits at 901-903 m. The latter is known in German as Hohe Gebirge, and Waligóra stands less than two kilometres further on. For a gentler climb, choose Kopica (803 m) or Garniec (763 m).
The Suche range is part of the Stone Mountains, and Sokołowsko lies right beside it. Suchawa, Kopica and Garniec belong to it. Garniec is built of Permian porphyry, also called latite, which forms the northern wing of the Intra-Sudetic Basin. Lower montane spruce forest grows here, with a little beech. The hill was once called Schüsselberg in German and today lies in the Wałbrzych Mountains Landscape Park. Kozina rises south of the village, right on the frontier. Its higher summit is 796 m, the lower one 793 m, and the state border with Czechia crosses the top. The Polish side is in the landscape park, the Czech side in the Broumovsko Protected Landscape Area.
The sources describe no marked facilities on Włostowa, and for Kopica they suggest a simple rule: plan a route linking several peaks of the range. Take a map of the Central Sudetes and check the current state of the trails before you set out. Around Kostrzyna you will also find Rogowiec with its castle ruins and Borowa with a lookout tower, so a longer day is easy to build.
