Okiennik Wielki, Rock formation in Skarżyce, Poland.

The Okiennik Wielki formation rises 35 meters above ground, featuring a natural limestone arch with dimensions of 7 by 5 meters.

Archaeological discoveries in the cave beneath the rock window revealed flint tools from human settlements dating back 60,000 years.

The formation holds significance in Polish geological research as it represents the characteristic limestone formations of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland.

Rock climbing enthusiasts can access 110 different routes with varying difficulty levels from grade III to VI.7+ on the Kurtyka scale.

The natural window in the rock structure served as a defensive tower in the 12th century, with visible remnants of wall reinforcements.
