Suchoń (965 m a.s.l.) is the highest peak of the Krowiarki range — a quiet, off-the-beaten-path corner of the Śnieżnik Massif in south-western Poland. If you love forest hiking without the crowds, this unassuming summit rewards you with genuine mountain solitude and a chance to spot some rare wildlife.
The peak rises along a lateral ridge running westward from the main Krowiarki crest. Its eastern slopes are gentle and easy to walk, while the northern, western and southern flanks drop steeply into the Upper Nysa Trough and the valleys of the Marcinkówka and Biała Woda streams — terrain that looks especially dramatic in autumn. Almost the entire mountain is blanketed in spruce forest, offering cool shade in summer and a fairy-tale atmosphere in winter. At the foot of the mountain lie the villages of Kamienna to the north-west and Idzików to the south-west, while to the north-east you can still find traces of the vanishing village of Marcinków.
How to reach the summitA wooden observation tower once stood on the summit, built in 1885 on the initiative of the GGV mountain society — today only a scatter of loose stone blocks remains, quietly swallowed by the trees.
