The Wdżar is a mountain in the Polish Middle Pienines , a mountain range of the Pieninen , 767 meters high. It is in the Czorsztyn Pienines . The summit lies between the Pienines and the Gorce , which is why it is partly included in the latter. Geologically, it does not fit either with the one or the other, as it is an extinct volcano that was formed between the Pieninen rock belt and the Beskids ( Outer Carpathians ). It is usually also dealt with in tourist guides about the respective mountains.
Location and surroundings
The Wdżar is located above the place Kluszkowce on the northern edge of the Jezioro Czorsztyńskie reservoir . To the north of the summit lies the Lubań massif . In the summit area there are three quarries where andesite was mined. Andesite rocks also lie south of the summit. Thanks to the special mineral-rich volcanic rock and the orientation to the south, a unique flora has also formed on the southern slopes of the mountain, which you cannot otherwise find in the vicinity. Provincial road 969 runs from Nowy Targ to Nowy Sącz below the summit .
etymology
Sometimes you can also find the names: Wzor, Wżar, Wżary, Żar, Zdżar, Zżar and Wzory. The etymology of the name is not clear.
