The Izera Mountains near Szklarska Poręba

The peak is located in south-western Poland, in the same mountain group as the nearby Wysoka Kopa and Izerskie Garby. The scenic Zakręt Śmierci also lies in the same area. This is terrain typical of the Izera Mountains: gentle, wooded ridges crossed by hiking trails, popular for longer mountain walks.

The name of the hill

The second name of the peak, Wieczorny Zamek (Evening Castle), is a translation of the German Abendburg, under which the hill was known before 1945. Both names refer to the same point on the Grzbiet Wysoki (High Ridge) of the Izera Mountains.
