Krzywousty Hill is a hill in Jelenia Góra, in south-western Poland. Rising to 375 metres (1,230 ft), it stands above the confluence of the Kamienna and Bóbr rivers and is one of the best-known viewpoints in the city.
The hill was known as Hausberg until 1945. Its present Polish name refers to Duke Bolesław III Wrymouth (Polish: Bolesław Krzywousty), although archaeological research indicates that the castle once standing on the hill was most probably founded only in the second half of the 13th century.
