A limestone outlier above the Warta valley

Góra Św. Genowefy is the northernmost limestone outlier of the Wieluń Jura, standing beside the village of Bobrowniki in the Pajęczno district. The hill lies within the Załęcze Landscape Park, near the great bend of the River Warta.

What to see

A viewpoint on the summit opens onto a panorama of the Warta valley and the surrounding forests. On the slope stands the largest limestone rock in the park — because of its resemblance to a human skull it is known as the Face, and local legend links it with witches' sabbaths. Tradition derives the hill's name from the banished wife of one of the former owners of the local estates.

Getting there

The approach starts at Żabi Staw pond, from where a forest path leads to the top. The climb is short, steep in places and slippery after rain. It is worth combining the trip with a walk along the Warta valley, regarded here as one of the river's most scenic stretches.
