Stołowe Mountains National Park
Stołowe Mountains National Park, National Park in Lower Silesia, Poland
Description
Stołowe Mountains National Park protects an area of flat sandstone plateaus that rise above wide plains, cut by steep rock walls and numerous gorges. These formations spread across a sprawling landscape that combines forests, meadows and rock labyrinths into varied terrain.
History
The sandstone layers formed during the Late Cretaceous when a shallow sea covered the region and left deposits over millions of years. Later tectonic movements lifted these layers while erosion carved out the shapes visible today.
Culture
The park preserves traces of old trade routes and settlements that show how people lived here for centuries alongside the mountain landscape. Hikers encounter wayside crosses and boundary stones that tell of this long connection between inhabitants and nature.
Practical
A network of marked hiking trails connects the main attractions, with some paths running over wooden stairs and walkways through rock crevices. The blue-marked cycling route runs for 126 km (78 mi) through Poland and the Czech Republic.
Did you know?
The so-called Rock Mushrooms are among the most striking erosion forms in the park, with wide caps balanced on slender pillars of softer rock. Some of these structures reach heights of several meters and look as if they could tip over at any moment.
