Świnka, Rock climbing route at Góra Zborów, Poland.
Świnka is a 12-metre limestone rock in the Młynarze group on Góra Zborów, between the Czujnik and Zajączek rocks, in the Góra Zborów Nature Reserve above Podlesice. It stands in open terrain and carries six bolted climbing routes graded III to VI.2+ on the Polish scale, most with rings and lower-off stations.
The route became recognized as a climbing destination during the expansion of climbing areas in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. This period marked a broader growth of climbing opportunities across the region.
The rock's name, Świnka, means "piglet" in Polish, and its six bolted routes carry matching names: Wieprzowina (Pork), Tropiciel węży (Snake Tracker), Prostowanie pogody, Pogoda dla rogaczy, Świnka and Świnki komin. It stands between the Czujnik and Zajączek rocks in the Młynarze group, and the Eagle's Nest Trail and the Rzędkowice Trail both pass beside it.
Access is available through marked trails from the parking area near Podlesice. Visitors should plan trips during dry weather and bring proper climbing gear and safety equipment.
