Trekking in Góra Świętej Anny

Góra Świętej Anny rises from the Silesian plain as the remains of an ancient volcano, now topped by a Franciscan sanctuary and a Calvary of chapels. Its old basalt quarry has become a geopark, and the hill was the site of a famous battle in the Silesian Uprisings.

Short, easy walks on marked paths linking the quarry, the huge stone amphitheatre and the monastery on the summit. A gentle half day, busy during pilgrimage festivals.

Drive to the village of Góra Świętej Anny, about 40 km from Opole. Follow the geopark circuit, then walk the chapel path round the hill.
