A sandstone labyrinth in the Stołowe Mountains

Białe Skały is an extensive group of sandstone formations at about 800 m above sea level in the Stołowe (Table) Mountains, near Lisia Przełęcz pass and the Narożnik massif. The walls reach twenty to thirty metres in height and owe their name to the pale colour of the block sandstone. The site lies within the Stołowe Mountains National Park.

How they were formed

The shapes were carved by long-lasting erosion: water and frost cut the edge of the tableland with deep fissures and ravines, separating one rock block from another. The result is a labyrinth of corridors, towers and rock mushrooms. Some of the pinnacles carry vivid names of their own — among them Zielony Król, Zielona Dama and As Atu.

Getting there and visiting

A path with iron rungs and wooden footbridges leads through the rocks, very narrow in places, which children find a great adventure. The easiest start is the car park at Lisia Przełęcz on the Road of a Hundred Bends between Radków and Kudowa-Zdrój; the yellow trail from Radków and the green one from Kudowa-Zdrój also arrive here.
