Annaberg (St. Anne Mountain - commune of Leśnica) (400 m above the sea level) and the town of the same name is situated 17 km south from Strzelce Opolskie. A geological-landscape reservation was created in the south-west slope of the mountain in 1972. There is a closed basalt quarry, changed into an amphitheatre in the years 1934 - 1938. There is a monument of Silesian Uprising (sculpture by Xawery Dunikowski, 1955). On top of the mountain there is a Franciscan monastery - the site of religious cult and numerous pilgrimages consisting of:
- pilgrimage church of St. Anne, gothic-baroque, from the late 15th century, extended in the 17th century. There is a figure of St. Anne Samotrzecia from the 15th century in the main altar - the object of pilgrimages,
- monastery from the 18th century with cloister yard, the so called "Paradise square";
- complex of chapels from the 18th century, creating calvary way of the cross, consisting of over 30 baroque stations of the Passion of Christ and chapels devoted to Holy Mary.
