A summit 650 m above sea level in the Karkonosze Foothills above Jagniątków, beneath which uranium ore was briefly mined in 1954.
Sośnik is a summit 650 m above sea level in the Karkonosze Foothills, on the north-east of the Grzybowiec ridge, rising above Jagniątków in the Piechowice municipality.
The whole massif is built of Karkonosze granite. The summit is covered by lower montane forest, and the old mining workings beneath it are not accessible to visitors.
In 1954, prospecting for uranium ore was carried out beneath Sośnik, and the mine was designated OP-7 Jagniątków. Extraction was abandoned after a few months due to an insufficient deposit. The adits remained closed to visitors, although caving groups did enter them.
