Radziejowa is the highest peak of the Beskid Sądecki mountain range in Poland, reaching an elevation of 1,266 meters above sea level. It is a designated part of the Crown of Polish Mountains, a collection of the highest peaks in each major mountain range in the country. The summit features a permanent steel observation tower that provides panoramic views of the Tatra Mountains, Pieniny range, and the Dunajec River valley. The peak is accessible via a network of marked hiking trails, primarily the Main Beskid Trail (Główny Szlak Beskidzki). The area is covered by thick beech and spruce forests characteristic of the Poprad Landscape Park. As of mid-2026, the observation tower remains the primary landmark for hikers reaching the summit plateau.
