Mount Cisowa is a perfect example of a terminal moraine rampart shaped conically, whose summit is 77m above the level of the nearby Lake Kopane. According to one legend the mountain was built from the sand dug from the place where there is now the lake. According to another one the name Cisowa (yew) was given because of a huge yew which once had grown on its top. Currently on its summit there is a cross dedicated to John Paul’s the Second visit in Suwalszczyzna in 1999.
