More information on Stołowe Mts. National Park website.

The Stolowe Mountains present a plated structure, unique in Europe, and make tremendous impression with their fantastically shaped rocks. The best known forms are "Kwoka" (The Hen), "Wielblad" (The Camel), "Glowa Wielkoluda" (The Giant's Head). A system of corridors has formed within the joint sandstone zone creating rocky mazes which are particularly impressive and famous on "Bledne Skaly" (The Errant Rocks).
