CATCH ME, IF YOU CAN |
Góry Stołowe (the Table Mountains) - a land born of the sea, millions of years ago ... is one of the most beautiful and attractive mountain ranges in Poland, a unique place due to its terrain, beautiful rock formations, unique “rock cities”, labyrinths and peculiar forms called rock fungi. Outstanding natural and landscape values are reasons that the National Park of the Table Mountains has been established here in 1993.
Szczeliniec Wielki is a natural and tourist phenomenon. Visible from afar, a powerful platform of the mountain ridge, it charms with a “rocky city”, a historic mountain shelter, but above all with fantastic rock formations and panoramas. From Szczeliniec there are unforgettable views of the mountains and valleys of the Sudetes, around the world. This is a unique place - visit, enjoy the mountains, collect caches; but do not destroy, do not litter - let's preserve this beauty for the next generations.

Are you tired with climbing all those steps leading to the top of Szczeliniec? Well, let us tell you that you are walking in the footsteps of such famous people as Johann Wolfgang Goethe and John Quincy Adams. Johann Wolfgang Goethe, the greatest of German poets of the era of Romanticism, was also a keen naturalist. He visited Szczeliniec, then called Heuscheuer, in 1790. John Quincy Adams travelled to Europe before he was elected the president of the United States. He climbed Szczeliniec in 1800. Overwhelmed with the beauty he wrote one of his letters: “This series of rocks extending for eight or nine miles, begins and ends so suddenly that it looks like a crown on the top of the mountain”. One can only agree with his words. |

So, grab the cache and carry on! Even if you are a famous poet or future president - no one will climb the mountain for you! |
