Bald Mountain (Ukrainian: Лиса гора, Lysa hora; Russian: Лысая гора, Lysaya gora, Polish: Łysa Góra) is a location in Slavic folk mythology related to witchcraft. According to legends, witches periodically gather on the "bald mountains" for their "Sabbath". [1]

The exact origins and factual evidences of the concept are unclear. Researchers list dozens of supposed "bald mountains" sites throughout Ukraine and Poland.[citation needed] The notable ones include the Lysa Hora and Zamkova Hora hills in Kiev, Ukraine, and Łysa GórainPoland.
