    When going on long walk trips there might be less/not much/no options to charge mobile battery.., woods especially... So I don't use that, until last minute if am truely lost. And I don't carry additional GPS gadgets, I travel simple. Paper maps / Google map print outs, yeah sure.... Call me silly, but I like the fun of being lost... Thats why we choose to wander after all isn't? :)

    [h=1][FONT=&quot]Answer: [/FONT]Góra Świętej Anny (hill)[/h]

    [FONT=&quot]History: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The Annaberg is a volcanic cone of Tertiary basalt, the easternmost end of the Silesian volcanic belt and the easternmost occurrence of basalt in Europe. It is 406 metres (1,332 ft) high. The hill was a pagan shrine in pre-Christian times.It was formerly known as the Chelmberg; around 1100 a wooden chapel to St. George was built on the hill, and it became known as the Georgenberg (St. George’s hill). In 1516 the noble family of von Gaschin, who had moved to Silesia from Poland in the mid-15th century, erected a church dedicated to St. Anne on the Chelmberg. The hill became a popular pilgrimage destination, especially after the donation in 1560 of a wooden statue of St. Anne, containing relics, which is still in the church today.

    [FONT=&quot]Image 2 - The main object of veneration by the pilgrims is a statue of St. Anne with the Virgin and Child carved out of lime wood above the main altar in the church, about 66 centimeters (26 in) tall, which supposedly contains relics of the saint from the monastery of Ville near Lyons in France and is credited with miracles
    [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Image 3 – It is a location of Franciscan Monastery with miracle status of St. Anne and hence the portrait of Francis of Assisi, founder of the Order of Friars Minor; oldest known portrait in existence of the saint, dating back to St. Francis' retreat to Subiaco (1223–1224)

    This is considered as one of the important Catholic pilgrimage site located in Eastern Europe.
