Goodbye Wanderer |
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.

The slopes of Szczeliniec Wielki are covered with visible rock rubble formed as a result of mass movements, and the wall of the Hell crevice is significantly deviated from the vertical, which raises a certain anxiety. Looking at the massif of Szczeliniec Wielki, one can ask a question: is it still subject to decay and is it safe for visitors? Records of block displacements in the massif have been carried out for several decades in order to observe movements of mountain fragments and these measurements are carried out in three places in the edge regions of the plateau. As a result of these studies, it has been proven that most movements are oscillatory and depend on seasonal fluctuations in temperature and rainfall. |

However, there are places where displacements of rock blocks are noticeable and in Hell movements of 1.43 mm per year were found. From this a conclusion can be drawn that the Szczeliniec Wielki rock formations are not quite stable. There’s no need to panic, however. Catastrophic events rarely occur in nature. The only recorded large scale event of this kind took place in 1921 in Czech part of the Table Mountains in a place called Bor. A single large piece of rock broke off the main formation. You can still see the debris from the red trail leading back from the Rock Labyrinth. Luckily, the fragment that fell off the rock wall did not harm anyone. |

About the cache: The cache is hidden along the ONE WAY tourist trail! It is NOT possible to reach this cache from a different direction but from the trail starting at Waypoint "The beginning of the toll road", the entrance to the labyrinth. Paid entrance at the ticket office next to the shelter. The whole loop of the Szczeliniec and the rock labyrinth trail is about 3.5 km long.
Act carefully so that you take no risk. You do not have to go on rocks or climb anything! Take care of passers-by so as not to disclose the cache location to Mugglers. Finally, put it back, in exactly the same place, please. "Invisibility" at the highest level!
The all of nature, specific landscape features and national heritage objects are protected in the area of the National Park. The task of the National Park is not only to protect this particular landscape, but also to make it available for visitors. However, you neet to remember about certain rules:
