Twarożnik (Quark Stones)
Highlight • Natural Monument
The quark stones consist of a heap of huge granite blocks. On the largest is a single, flat stone, a so-called rocking stone, which has emerged as the final result of the Wollsack weathering. The shape of the strongly rounded boulders is reminiscent of simple, traditional cheese making. Quark must be done first. The curd is stuffed into a cloth, the corners of which are folded and hung in this pillow-like shape to drip. The quark or a kind of cottage cheese is ready as soon as the mass is sufficiently dehydrated. Especially the Czech name contains references to the production. The word "tvář" stands for appearance, gestalt and "ručník" is the word for towel.

The wind whistles really hard here.
So: pack a windbreaker, hold on to your trash and, above all, take it with you.

Mannsteine (Czeskie Kamienie) rock formation
Highlight • Natural Monument
The rock group rises to a height of 1,416 meters and is characterized by its typical woolsack weathering, which is characteristic of the Giant Mountains. With a length of over 50 meters and a height of about 12 meters, the Man Stones offer an impressive 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.
In the immediate vicinity, about 750 metres to the east, are the Girls' Stones (Czech: Dívčí kameny, Polish: Śląskie Kamienie), which are only slightly lower at 1,414 metres. Both rock formations together form the double peak of the Hraniční hřeben (Border Ridge).
