Kopiec Krakusa (“Krak’s Mound”) is a large artificial mound from 7th century AD (Slavic tribal period). It is 16 m high and has 57 m in diameter. The excavations did not reveal any burials inside, therefore function of the mound is unknown, just as in case of Kopiec Wandy.
According to the legend the mound is a tomb of Slavic price Krak.
