Attention, end of range! |
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.
Labirynt Błędnych Skał - The Maze of Errant Rocks is located on the north-western edge of Skalniak. It covers a complex of peculiar rock formations with a height of 6 - 11 m, created as a result of weathering sandstone. Errant Rocks is a maze of crevices and alleys, sometimes extremely narrow, separating rock blocks of several meters in height. Many rocks have their own names, for example: “ The Rock Saddle”, “The Hen’s Leg”, “The Tunnel” and “The Grand Hall”. The only observation deck on the route is “The Rock Skuls”. The Szczeliniec Wielki and Mały, city of Machov, and in good visibility, The Karkonosze mountains can be seen from here. Difficult weather conditions, which usually prevail here, cause that the majority of spruces have broken crowns, and other tree species, such as pine and birch, take fanciful, bent shapes. 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.

Welcome to the blue trail leading to the Errant Rocks labyrinth. This is a part of a geo-trail project created in August and September 2018 so you can enjoy geocaching and learn about your surroundings. Because the trail leads through the grounds of National Park we kindly ask you to respect the regulations and enjoy the caches responsibly. All the caches are placed near the path, they will never require leaving the marked trail. |

We start at a place with interesting history. Walking along the trail you will see foundations of abandoned buildings. These are remains of German work camps from World War II. The prisoners were forced to dig tunnels under large parts of the Table Mountains. To this day nobody knows to what purpose those structures might have served. After the war the buildings were used by American organization YMCA as a summer camp for orphaned children. To commemorate this the meadow with the parking lot is called YMCA Meadow. |
