Bledne Skaly  - Although they are called the Errant Rocks in English, B艂臋dne Ska艂y looks almost intentional. As perfectly chiseled paths lead visitors on hikes, their imaginations can run wild among the natural forms of the rocks nestled near the Table Mountains of Poland.



 Thanks Wojtek for the postcards and the envelope with the cachets of the beautiful national parks :) I am sure you had a great trek in these mountains and a good time !
