The Table Mountains National Park is located on the border with the Czech Republic and includes the Polish part of the Table Mountains (Góry Stołowe). The character of the Polish Table Mountains (Szczeliniec and Błędne Skały) is completely different from the other mountain ranges in the area; the lower part reaches an altitude of around 750 m above sea level, while the upper part consists of several separate groups that rise 100-150 m above the surrounding area.
Roughly 63 km2 of the summit area is in the protected zone, together with the highest peak, Szczeliniec Wielki (Szczeliniec Wielki, 919 m above sea level), and Skalniak (915 m above sea level). The park's protected zone includes three popular spas: Polanica Zdrój, Duszniki Zdrój and Kudowa Zdrój. The individual rocks weather unevenly, forming different belts with ravines and some fantastic rock formations.
The Table Mountains have a morphology of flat geological structures that is wholly unique in Europe. The horizontal rock benches are composed of sandstone blocks separated by layers of opacities interspersed with limestone as well as calcareous and glauconitic sandstone. They were formed in the sea that flooded what is now the Intrasudetic Basin during the Upper Cretaceous period (some 100 million years ago). The area was declared a national park in 1993, but the most beautiful parts of the Table Mountains were already protected back in the 1950s, when three nature reserves were established.
The Table Mountains are very beautiful and especially popular with ramblers. Running through the National Park there is a dense network of hiking trails with a total length of around 100 km (including a section of the Main Sudeten Trail / Główny Szlak Sudecki im. M. Orlowicza). All the massif’s rock attractions are accessible:
The rock town on Velká Hejšovina (919 m above sea level), the highest peak in the Table Mountains
The rock labyrinths of the Errant Rocks in the Bor massif (Skalniak - 915 m above sea level)
The Rock Mushrooms (Skalne Grzyby) and Radkowskie Skały Rocks
Horn-owl Rocks (Skały Puchacza) with a beautiful view
Łezyckie Skalki Rocks, situated in a landscape reminiscent of a savannah.
The Table Mountain National Park attracts a great many visitors. Tourism there is mainly heritage-focused and is concentrated in the area of the Errant Rocks and Szczeliniec Wielki. Few tourists can be found on the other trails, which makes a roam around there all the more appealing. Some beautiful rock formations - ridges, needles, columns and towers can also be found around the area known as Skalne Grzyby (northeastern part of the Table Mountains National Park), Radkowskie Skały (Radkov Rocks), and in the vicinity of Biały Skały (White Rocks), located near Narożnik.
Many of the paths are also great for cycling. Running through the Table Mountain National Park, connecting Kudowa Zdrój and Radków, is the extraordinarily picturesque Szosa Stu Zakrętów (Hundred Curves Road).
