50°58'07"N 20°34'27"E (50.96885, 20.5744)

The hill lies in the Tumlińskie Range and is made of very characteristic red sandstones.

According to legend, on the top of the mountain there was a stronghold where the local people were sheltered during the Tatar invasions in the 13th century. Archaeological works carried out in 1958-60 revealed that the top of the mountain was surrounded by stone and earth embankments from the 7th-8th centuries, most probably covering the pagan center of worship. The peak part of Góra Grodowa is under protection. The reserve called "Stone Circles" covers an area of ​​12.75 ha and was established in 1994.

On Góra Grodowa there is a brick chapel from the mid-19th century, which replaced the older, wooden one.
