About

Barania Góra (Polish for "Ram Mountain") (German: Widderberg; Silesian: Baraniŏ Gōra) is a mountain in southern Poland. At a height of 1,220 metres (4,000 ft), it is the second highest mountain in the Silesian Beskids.

The sources of the Vistula, the longest Polish river, are located on the western slope of the mountain.

A mountain hut, PTTK shelter Przysłop pod Barania Górą, is located relatively close to the peak, albeit at around 900 metres (3,000 ft) AMSL. The area around the mountain also plays host to many hiking trails.
