Stróżek

Stróżek is a hill in the Wałbrzych Mountains, rising to 517 metres above sea level at the north-western end of the ridge separating Szczawno-Zdrój from Stary Zdrój. Both the old German name Wachberg and the Polish Stróżek point to the elevation's former watchtower function.

Location

The hill lies in Wałbrzych County, on the boundary of Szczawno-Zdrój, in the Wałbrzych Mountains range belonging to the Sudetes. The Henryk Wieniawski Spa Park in Szczawno-Zdrój itself is close by.

Hiking trail

The European long-distance hiking trail E3, marked in blue, runs across the elevation on the section from Szczawno-Zdrój to the Wałbrzych Miasto railway station. The same route leads towards Chełmiec with its observation tower. Sources do not describe a view from the summit of Stróżek itself.
