Błędne Skały, Rock labyrinth nature reserve in Kudowa-Zdrój, Poland.
Błędne Skały is a sandstone maze within Table Mountains National Park, forming a dense network of tall rock walls, narrow corridors and open chambers. The formations rise up to 65 feet (20 meters) high and create an interlocking system of paths where some passages must be navigated sideways.
The rocks formed from sandstone layers deposited during the Late Cretaceous period. Later tectonic uplift brought them to their current position, and weathering carved out the maze over thousands of years.
The rock formations carry specific names like Stołowy Głaz, Tunel, Kuchnia, and Kurza Stopka, reflecting local interpretations of their shapes and characteristics.
Two parking areas serve as starting points: a lower one free of charge with about a 75-minute climb, or an upper one with limited access hours. Solid footwear helps when dealing with roots, damp spots and squeezing through narrow rock gaps.
Some passages between the rock walls narrow down to just a few centimeters in width. Visitors must turn their shoulders and squeeze sideways through several of the tightest sections.
