The second part of our autumn hike through the Klonów Range in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. From Bukowa Góra, we descend the green trail to the edge of Świętokrzyski National Park, then traverse the southern slopes to reach the path leading to the summit of Buczyna Hill. The summit is forested, and the northern slopes of the hill have been destroyed by a stone mine. From Buczyna, we descend into the valley of an unnamed stream, then through the Włoska Sosna clearing, reach the yellow trail, which returns us to the parking lot in Gruszka.

Buczyna Hill – a hill 450 meters above sea level in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. It is located in the central part of the Klonów Range. The southern slopes gently slope down to an unnamed stream, while the northern slopes were destroyed by the PCC Silicium S.A. mine.

The beech forest is covered with a beech and fir forest with a rich and diverse undergrowth. The summit sections offer no views.

From the south, the summit is traversed by the green-marked Jerzy Głowacki Trail. A path marked on the map leads to the summit.

The hike was recorded on September 25, 2025.
