Czartowska Skała, Historic hill in Kaczawskie Mountains, Poland

The mountain rises 463 meters above sea level, featuring exposed basalt columns in its summit area that stretch over ten meters in length.

During the 1930s, the site underwent extensive basalt mining operations, which altered its natural formation and revealed the internal volcanic structures.

Local tales tell of a demon who tried to drop the rock onto the church in Pomocne village, resulting in the hill's current location among the fields.

Visitors can access the summit via a 15-minute walk from the provincial road 365, with parking available along the dirt access road.

The site contains basalt pillars formed from an ancient volcanic chimney, displaying fan-like columnar structures measuring 15 to 20 centimeters in width.
