It was a great time as we all climbed up on this mount and on the way up and down of course took lots of photos and were discussing a lot. All these who didn’t arrive – regret it:)...
Once again BIG THANKS to all who came and with whom there was so much fun.
In WS like always a few shots from the meeting…

More info about Mount Ślęża (worth to read):
Ślęża [ˈɕlɛ̃ʐa] is a mountain in the Sudetes foothills (Pogórze Sudeckie) in Lower Silesia, southern Poland. This natural reserve built mostly of granite is 718 m high and covered with forests. The top of the mountain has a tourist hostel and a TV and radio mast. The mountain and its surrounding region form the protected area called Ślęża Landscape Park.
Sacred mountain. During the Neolithic Period and at least as far back as the 7th century BC Mount Ślęża was a holy place of the heathen tribes of the Lusatian culture. It was then settled by the Celtic-Germanic LugiansThe Silingi, a subpopulation of the East Germanic tribe known as the Vandals are the earliest known inhabitants of Silesia, however the greater part of them moved westwards by the 5th century and the remainder were slowly replaced in the sixth century by Slavic tribes ("people of the plain"). The name of the territory Silesia either derives from the Sleza River or from Mount Ślęża. The hill itself was a religious center of the Silingi, and derives its name from them.
Mount Sleza has ancient Germanic holy places dedicated to a sun deity and remained a holy place during Christian times as well. In the first half of the 12th century, the owner of the place was Peter Wlast Dunin, (Polish: Piotr Włostowic), who founded there an Augustinian convent which was subsequently moved to Wrocław in 1153.
Transmitter On Ślęża there is a facility for FM- and TV-transmission, which uses a 136 meter tall free-standing (with additional guying) lattice tower. The current tower which was built in 1972 replaced a 98 metre tall tower built in 1958.
