Skalny Stół

Tafelstein is a rocky summit in the Karkonosze range reaching 1281 meters, located on the border between Poland and Czech Republic. The peak features steep slopes with distinctive rock formations and provides wide views over the valleys below.

The mountain served as a border marker between kingdoms and appeared in boundary maps since medieval times. Its location at the state frontier made it an important reference point for territorial divisions in the region.

Local mountaineering groups maintain several marked trails leading to the summit, continuing a long tradition of Polish mountain path preservation.

The path to the summit is well marked with several routes of varying difficulty leading from the valley. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for changing weather, as the mountain is exposed to all seasons.

The summit experiences a specific climbing pattern with August recording 33 percent of annual ascents, while February and March each account for 16 percent.
