Category 6 Błędne Skały By Dawid Ś.
… have you ever thought… About a place where you can get lost?
About a place where you will go to… and never go back?
A place made by humans… to trap you for eternity?
...what about a place made by nature… a place which will never let you out?
WOULD YOU BELIEVE A PLACE LIKE THIS ACTUALLY EXISTS…?
BLEDNE SKALY
The Landscape
The name “Błędne skały” roughly translates into misleading rocks.
The name is made up after how the place is filled with all kinds of rocks which form multiple corridors that make it look like a labyrinth.
Location
Błędne skały is a place in the southwest part of Poland in Sudety środkowe of Mt.Stołowe. It’s placed near the border of Czech Republic, between Kudowa-Zdrój and Karłów. The place is 850m high, and it goes for 2.5km.
Creation
Thick layers of sandstone settled at the bottom of the sea. In the Tertiary they were lifted with Sudety mountains. Then the process of erosion began. As a result of different composition of single rock layers, spreading in 3 different directions, a few-metres deep corridors were created.
Interesting facts
The interesting thing is that the place was created only by nature, with no human interference whatsoever. There are also many different types of rocks there and some of them even have their own names like Stołowy Głaz, Kurza Stopka or Kuchnia.
My opinion
I think the place is absolutely amazing. The idea of a naturally created labyrinth is one of the more interesting things nature can make. It really shows how nature can play with our world, to create all sorts of unimaginable things.
