The total area of the park is just over 63 square kilometers, on which almost 200 km of trails suitable for tourism have been marked out. The name of the mountain range in this particular case extremely accurately reflects the terrain – however, characteristic of the landscape of the Table Mountains will be not only flattened hilltops with steep slopes and wall cliffs, but also numerous rock formations, which were formed as a result of long-term erosion and destruction of sandstone and other sedimentary rocks. The Stołowe Mountains owe their attractiveness to their unique plate-like relief, which is a remnant of a vast body of water, the Cretaceous sea, which millions of years ago occupied areas of almost all of modern Poland. Each year, the Stołowe Mountains National Park is visited by more than 350,000 tourists, who are attracted by the picturesque views on Szczeliniec Wielki, the opportunity to practice mountain climbing, or, in fact, above all, the formations (Skalne Grzyby, Radkowskie Skały and others) and rock labyrinths, unparalleled anywhere else on this scale, with their vastness and shape resembling huge, hollowed-out cities in the mountain slopes. In the Polish part of the Stołowe Mountains, the latter include the beautiful and mysterious Błędne Skały, while in the Czech Republic the equally spectacular Adršpašskoteplické skály.

Before visiting the park, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the latest tourist announcements and the hours of availability of hiking trails on the day of your visit. For your first visit, it’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with ticket information and the park’ s rules and safety regulations.
