A wall above the Pass of Three Valleys
The Waligóra massif is an elongated ridge with a gentle southern slope and very steep other slopes. The northern slope drops sharply to the Pass of Three Valleys with the Andrzejówka hut, so the mountain dominates the landscape. It is built of Permian quartz porphyry.

A summit without a view
In the 19th century the bare summit was a good viewpoint. After 1945 a wooden triangulation and observation tower stood on it, but it fell into ruin and was dismantled – today there is no viewpoint on the summit, and the slopes are covered with beech and spruce forest.

Highest in the park
Waligóra is the highest point of the Wałbrzych Sudetes Landscape Park, created in 1999. The park covers the highest part of the Stone Mountains, including the western part of the Dry Mountains, and borders the Czech Broumovsko protected landscape area to the south. A curiosity of the park is a river capture: the Rybna, cutting ever further into the mountains, “captured” the headwaters of the Ścinawka and flows through a deep gorge to the Bystrzyca.
