History
During the Prussian partition, in the 19th century, there was an increase in interest in the Table Mountains. It was then that tourism and industry (including wood) developed. During the Second World War, this area did not suffer any major damage, but it was in the sphere of interest of the Czechs, who entered the area after the capitulation of the Third Reich. After the war, Poles were relocated to this area (including those from the Eastern Borderlands), several factories were built, although small, but from environmental groups that were harmful to the environment (e.g. glassworks in Szczytna, textile factories in Kudowa-Zdrój).
In 1993, a national park was created, which was created from the transformation of the Stołowogórski Landscape Park. Since then, its borders have not changed much, and recently the number of tourists has been growing strongly (480,000 - 2015, 1,063,000 - 2018).
