Bald mountainside, boulder field

Out of Kielce and into the Bald Mountain (Łysa Góra), the dreaded sacred mountain of all of Neolithic Europe, where pilgrimages came from distant places and a pagan temple of the seven circles of time stood eternally - until it was destroyed by the Franks in the 9th century and its remains supposedly thrown from the mountainside, now being part of this boulder field called "gołoborze".
Today a Christian monastery stands atop the mountain, and it bears the name Holy Cross.
