Stróżowa Góra

Stróżowa Góra is a 648-metre hill in the Central Sudetes, in the Owl Mountains, a few kilometres south-east of the centre of Jedlina-Zdrój. It lies in the Włodarz Massif and forms its lower summit, rising from the north-western slope of Jedlińska Kopa.

Terrain

The summit is poorly marked in the terrain and takes the form of a flattened dome with heavily dissected slopes that fall away to the north-west, towards the Bystrzyca river. The top is covered with a spruce-beech forest typical of the lower montane zone, and lower down, on the northern side, stretch meadows and pastures that are becoming overgrown.

Landscape park

The hill lies partly within the Owl Mountains Landscape Park; the summit itself and its northern part already lie beyond the park's northern boundary, so only a fragment of the hill is formally under protection.
