This large block of sandstone (12 m long, 8,5 m wide and 3 m) was brought here by glacier from Skandinavia. It's Poland's 2nd largest glacial erratic, and it was even bigger (it was used as a source of building material). It is also known as Glaz Mszczonowski, because Mszczonow is the nearest bigger town.
Now it is protected by polish law. In spite of being potential tourist attraction, the way here is not marked, there's no educational side, neither any marked path or road sign. You can reach it by car using technical road along the railroad, and then about 150 m by foot, through the bushes (if you have luck, you find a little path through the meadows). The rock is placed in the hole carved by glacier, overgrown by bushes, making the rock invisible from outside until you reach the very place.
