A rise in an old beech forest

Diabla Góra is one of the isolated hills of the Jaworzno Hills, built of Triassic rock, on the edge of Bukowno. It is surrounded by a fine beech wood whose oldest stands are around two hundred and fifty years old. The area is under landscape protection.

Legend and the cave

A local tale links the hill with the brigand Popiel the Traitor, who is said to have hidden his loot in the cave here and struck a bargain with the devil, who guards the treasure to this day. The cave is real — about 107 metres long, formed in Triassic carbonate rock — but it is not open to visitors.

The walk around the hill

A circular trail of slightly over 6 km runs around the rise, starting and finishing by the Leśny Dwór in Bukowno. The route is easy, leads through shady woodland and suits a quiet walk with children; allow around two hours including stops.

  • Car park by the Leśny Dwór
  • Marked 6 km circular trail
  • Forest walking paths
  • Resting places along the route
Cost: Free admission Visit duration: approx. 2 hours Seasonality: Year-round
