The sources of the Vistula, the longest Polish river, are located on the western slope of the mountain.[3]
A mountain hut, Schronisko PTTK Przysłop nad Baranią Górą, is located relatively close to the peak, albeit at around 900 metres (3,000 ft) amsl. The area around the mountain also plays host to many hiking trails.[4]
