Igła Deotymy, Limestone rock formation in Ojców National Park, Poland
The Deotyma Needle rises as a solitary limestone formation on the eastern bank of the Prądnik stream between Maiden Rocks and Knight Rocks.
The formation received its name in 1853 following the visit of poet Jadwiga Łuszczewska, who wrote under the pseudonym Deotyma while residing nearby.
The needle-shaped rock formation became a source of inspiration for the Polish poet Jadwiga Łuszczewska during her time in the Prądnik Valley.
The limestone formation stands near residential buildings in the Prądnik Valley and remains closed to rock climbing activities for preservation purposes.
The surroundings of the rock formation contain rare Ojców birch trees, with only 11 specimens documented in this specific location.
