Mnich stone sculpture (Ślężański Landscape Park)

Highlight • Monument

Monk is a 2.5-meter tall megalithic granite sculpture located in Sobótka near Mount Ślęża in Lower Silesia, Poland, believed to date from the early medieval pre-Christian period and possibly of proto-Slavic or Celtic origin.

Originally found near the village of Garncarsko, it may have served as a milestone marker between Wrocław and Świdnica, though it likely had earlier ritual or cult purposes. The monument was relocated to Sobótka in the 1950s and was registered as an archaeological monument in 1969.

PTTK Tourist House on Mount Ślęża

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Tourist House is a different category from the PTTK shelter, which means that this building is subject to different rules than shelters. There was already a building on this site in 1837 and it has a long history. One of the more interesting rooms here was the current Knights' Hall (formerly the Ślęża Hermitage, where members of the Mountain Society met).

There is no running water here, so there is no accommodation, only a buffet.

Bear Sculpture on Mount Ślęża

Highlight • Monument

Cult sculptures in the vicinity of Mount Ślęża - marked with the sign of an oblique cross, were created in the period of 700 - 400 BC at the latest. All cult sculptures are the work of the local population of the Lusatian culture period, who erected monuments to their deities by carving stone blocks or figures of people and animals from the local granite.
The bear, often called the Ślęża bear - a stone sculpture with perfectly captured characteristics of the animal species, standing on the top of Ślęża, next to the church. He has a diagonal cross mark on his belly.

Bear and Maiden with Fish Sculptures on Mount Ślęża

Highlight • Monument

The "Maiden with Fish" is a Celtic cult statue from the La Tène period (circa 400-200 BCE) carved from local granodiorite and standing about 2.2 meters tall, located near the summit of Mount Ślęża in Poland. The anthropomorphic sculpture depicts a human figure holding a large fish (likely a trout or salmon) vertically against their chest, though the statue is missing its head, neck, right arm, and parts of the legs due to erosion over time.

The statue was rediscovered in 1733 by Gottfried Heinrich Burghart in a rocky debris field on the northern slope of Ślęża, possibly in its original location which may have been a main cult site.
