Rogal

Rogal is a peak about 639 metres high in the Zawory range, part of the Table Mountains in the Central Sudetes, near Łączna in Wałbrzych County.

Geological composition

The massif is built of Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian-Turonian) sandstones and mudstones. The lower parts of the slope have red, Triassic arkosic sandstones. At the foot, on the south-eastern side, by the road from Mieroszów to the Czech village of Zdoňov, there is a disused quarry of these red sandstones.

Vegetation

The whole massif is covered by spruce forest, essentially a spruce monoculture, with small patches of beech.
