Czartowska (Devils) Rock – the Land of Extinct Volcanoes.
The extinct volcano over the village of Pomocne.
Basalt columns occur here similarly as at Wilkołak Mt. and Small Myślibórz Organs. Perhaps in a slightly less perfect form.
The volcano offers a really beautiful view to the Katshava Mountains and Katshava Foothills and, on very clear and sunny days one can see as far as to the Giant Mountains with Śnieżka.
The mountain is a very grateful object to photograph. It changes during the year and day :-).
