Rotunda (772 m a.s.l.) is one of the most distinctive summits in the Low Beskids — its name comes from its beautifully rounded, dome-like shape that sets it apart from the surrounding hills. What makes it truly special is what awaits you at the top: a World War I military cemetery hidden among the trees, lending the summit an atmosphere unlike any other.
The peak rises along a side ridge of the Carpathians, branching northward from Jaworzyna Konieczniańska. Its slopes are steep and fully forested, giving the mountain an intimate, woodland character. In summer the forest offers welcome shade and quiet; in autumn the trees blaze with colour; in winter a blanket of snow transforms the paths. Because the summit is entirely wooded, panoramic views are limited — but the atmosphere more than compensates, with ancient trees, deep silence and the presence of the old cemetery creating a truly contemplative mood.
How to reach the summitThe summit cemetery was extensively restored in recent years thanks to the efforts of SKPB Warszawa members and supporters — a touching example of keeping mountain history alive deep in the Beskid forests.
