The 4 Most Amazing Peaks around Zielona Góra

Góra Mystka (historically known as Mysia Góra) is a small hill located in the northern part of Zielona Góra, in the Przylep district, rising above the Płoty Basin (Niecka Płotowska). It is the highest elevation in Przylep, reaching nearly 98 meters above sea level. Góra Mystka hides a dark past; in the 17th century, the hill was a place of execution as part of local witch trials. At least 7 residents of Przylep were burned on pyres lit on Mauseberg before the trials ceased in 1664–1665, when accusations began to affect the wives of Zielona Góra officials.

Jagodowe Wzgórze, named so as a result of an expedition in 2001 led by local enthusiasts, including the editor-in-chief of „Gazeta Zachodnia” Maciej Krzyślak and geographer Mieczysław Wojecki, offers not only beautiful landscapes but also an interesting historical context.

The highest elevation of the Zielonogórski Rampart, height 221.5 m above sea level. At the top of the mountain stands a historic, 20-meter tall red brick tower built at the beginning of the 20th century. Directly next to the summit, there is a tourist shelter. From the top of the mountain, hiking trails diverge in various directions.

A cool, historic place, a crossroads of bicycle and pedestrian paths. Unfortunately, even though it's probably the highest in Zielona Góra, the view is limited due to tall trees. Unless you use a drone.

Right next to Zielona Góra is Góra Tatrzańska at an altitude of 198 m above sea level. In a beautiful forest, of course. Easy entry: there is a ski lift and a toboggan run. The ski slope is 175 m long.

Wilkanowska Tower stands on Wilkanowska Mountain (221m above sea level). It is one of the Bismarck Towers, erected in the years 1869-1934 in the then German Reich and Austria-Hungary in honour of Otto von Bismarck. In Poland, out of 40 such towers, 17 remain. Extraordinary! You can rarely climb the tower, but apparently you can even see the top of Śnieżka from it!

Jagodowe Wzgórze is the highest peak in Zielona Góra (211m above sea level). The peak is completely covered with forest, so there are no long-distance views, but it is worth the effort and the climb!

It's worth going there. The view of the Oder and its former river bed is wonderful. However, the climb is not the easiest, it is a route more suitable for MTB than road cyclists. I used Komoot navigation and got there flawlessly.
