Viewing gallery over the boulder field

The viewing gallery over the boulder field on Łysa Góra (Święty Krzyż, approx. 595 m above sea level) is the flagship site of the Świętokrzyski National Park, allowing observation of the rock rubble (boulder field).

Location and surroundings

Łysa Góra lies in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, within the Świętokrzyski National Park (Kielce County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship). The largest boulder field has an area of approx. 3.84 ha.

What to see / natural values

The structure of the gallery (built in 2004-2005) leads stairs and a footbridge just above the boulder field (0.5-1.5 m), with an openwork deck, giving the impression of being right on the rubble. Nearby is a cult rampart from the 7th-11th century and a former viewing tower by the monastery.
