All Saints' Mountain is one of those summits that rewards hikers with a view stretching far beyond the local hills. Its dome-shaped top, mostly open and covered with meadows, hides a stone observation tower offering a panorama over several ranges of the Central Sudetes at once.

The slopes are covered with small mixed forests, mostly deciduous, with patches of scrub, making the approach pleasant and shaded before the summit suddenly opens onto a sweeping landscape. From the 15-metre round tower built of local red sandstone in 1913 by the Kłodzko Mountain Society, you can see the Sowie Mountains, Suche Mountains, Bardzkie Mountains, Stołowe Mountains, Bystrzyckie Mountains, the Kłodzko Valley, and the Śnieżnik Massif. In spring and summer the summit meadows are full of life, in autumn the surrounding forests turn golden, and in winter, on a clear day, the mountain panorama can be truly breathtaking.

How to reach the summit

• Słupiec — Main Sudetes Trail, moderate difficulty
• Trail connecting Kościelec, All Saints' Mountain, St Anne's Mountain and continuing through Nowa Ruda towards Wielka Sowa

Practical information

• The summit tower (known as Moltketurm) bears a relief of Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke above the entrance — it has been renovated and is now open to visitors
• Near the tower only the ruined walls remain of the former Lukasbaude mountain shelter, destroyed after 1945
• The peak is part of the 'Crown of Nowa Ruda' badge, which also includes St Anne's Mountain, Krępiec, Sokoli Garb, Wilkowiec, Bogusza, and Ruda Góra

The current tower replaced a far more modest 2.8-metre structure from 1889 — it's hard to imagine that such a small building once stood where the monumental tower now marks this summit.
