Table Mountains (NS. Stolové hory) - a mountain range located in the south-west Polandin the middle Sudetes. These mountains are one of the few plate mountains on the continent. The western part of the Table Mountains lies within the area Czech and is called Broumovská vrchovina. The north-west edge of the range near Mieroszów is called Zaworów. In 1993, the Table Mountains National Park was established in the Stołowe Mountains. The highest peak of the range is Szczeliniec Wielki.
name
The Stołowe Mountains owe their name to their specific structure, the shape of which is similar to the flat surface of the table. The current appearance of the range is due to relatively young tectonic movements and erosions that began in the Miocene and continue to this day. As a result, the upper part of the hills formed flat peaks.
