Ring of earthwork located on top of Palenica mountain was a sacred place for local Slavic tribes in early medieval period. The bank consists of earth and stones and is surrounded with a ditch. Inside the earthwork small stone mounds were discovered, but the excavations did not reveal any trances of burials inside them, just thick layer of charcoal.
Access to Palenica is quite difficult, the trail is climbing sharply, but well-preserved sacred place of Slavs is worth visiting.
