According to folk tales, the name comes from pre-Christian times, from the word gontyna - a Slavic religious building. At the top there is a metal fire observation tower (the so-called observation tower) with a height of 34 meters (not available to tourists). The facility is managed by the Podanin Forest District. Next to it, there are visible traces of the old triangulation tower.

A wonderful singletrack from the top towards Strzeleckie Lake. There is a quiet narrow path, there are fast streamers, there is everything you need. Glory to the Creators 🙂
