Mountains & peaks
Biskupia Kopa (890 m) is the highest peak in the Opawskie Mountains and one of the best viewpoints in the Opole region. It lies on the Polish–Czech border among the forests of the Opawskie Mountains Landscape Park. The hike is free, but the lookout tower on the Czech side has its own ticket and seasonal opening hours.
The most popular approaches start in Pokrzywna and Jarnołtówek, following forest paths and mountain passes. In January 2026, the green nature trail from Pokrzywna through the Bystre Potok Valley reopened. Roots, stones and clay sections can be slippery after rain, so wear shoes with good grip. You can combine the hike with a crossing towards Zlaté Hory in Czechia or a break at the Pod Kopą Biskupią mountain hut.
The more than 100-year-old tower is one of the Opawskie Mountains' symbols. It looks across forests in Poland and Czechia, with wider Sudeten ranges visible in good weather. The tower follows a Czech seasonal schedule: daily 9:00–18:00 from May to September, and shorter weekend opening in other months. Admission is 50 CZK; Polish zloty is not accepted, but cards and Czech koruna are.
The trails are free. Allow around 3–5 hours for the ascent, time at the summit and return. Check trail conditions and tower hours before setting out, especially outside summer. Carry an identity document near the border even if you are not planning a longer visit to Czechia. After rain, allow extra time and expect a proper mountain walk rather than a roadside viewpoint.
