Skalne Grzyby

Skalne Grzyby (Rock Mushrooms) is a cluster of rock formations in the Table Mountains, in the Central Sudetes, at an altitude of about 680-700 metres above sea level, between Batorów and Radkowskie Skały.

Sandstone shaped by erosion

The rock formations are made of sandstone lying on water-impermeable marls and shales. They formed as a result of the erosion of sandstone beds on the edge of the plateau. The cluster stretches for about 2 kilometres and consists of formations of varying density, resembling mushrooms, clubs, towers and gates. Individual formations have their own names, for example Borowik, Skalne Wrota and Pingwinki.
