A tower above the forest
The summit and slopes of Radziejowa are almost completely forested, and only the tower gives a view. A wooden observation tower opened in 2006; closed in 2017 because of rot, it gave way to a new one, opened to visitors in 2020. Earlier a triangulation tower with German surveying equipment stood here – in the autumn of 1943 Home Army partisans drove off its crew and destroyed the equipment.

Bird’s-eye primrose
On a small glade at 800 m grows the bird’s-eye primrose – its only site in the whole of Poland, discovered in 1959. The northern slopes are protected by the Baniska reserve with the Bania w Radziejowej cave. The peak’s name comes from a person with the surname or nickname Radziej.
