Postawna Mountain – a peak at 1117 m a.s.l. in the Złote Mountains, in the Eastern Sudetes. It is the highest peak in the Polish part of the Złote Mountains. To the east, it borders the Brusek peak (1115 m a.s.l.) across the shallow Bielskie Siodło Pass. To the south, it borders the Travná hora peak on the Czech side. The northern and western slopes descend to the Biały Spław and Długi Spław streams, the main headwaters of the Biała Lądecka River.
The summit and its slopes, starting at approximately 900 m above sea level, are covered with an upper montane spruce forest. The summit itself is flat and offers no views.
There are no hiking trails leading to Postawna Mountain. The summit is located approximately 300 m from the Polish-Czech border. You can reach it by a poorly marked path from the border.
Hike recorded on April 3, 2025.
