View from Łysa Góra (=Bald Mountain, Łysiec, Holy Cross) and it's 'stone river' (gołoborze).

Łysa Góra is a well-known mountain in Holy Cross Mountains, Poland. With a height of 595 meters (1,952 ft), it is the second highest mountain in that range (after Łysica at 612 meters or 2,008 ft). On its slopes and atop its summit are several hiking trails, the ruins of a pagan wall from 9th century, the Benedictine monastery Święty Krzyż from the 11th century (destroyed during the Second World War, now partially restored), and a Święty Krzyż TV Tower. The mountain also features prominently in a local legend about witches' sabbaths. wiki
