The rock "Piec" is spectacular because of its largest overhang seen anywhere in Rudawy.

The rock "Piec" like any others is situated in northern part of Rudawy Janowickie Mts.

 
This rock is well known because of its spectacular overhang. Such a shape of rock results from a specific structure of its granite. An aplite veins runs horizontally in the middle and preserves upper part against weathering. This huge overhang was in the past a good shelter for many people. "Piec" is very close to another good climbing rock called "Skalny Most" and just presented in another SP album.

 
"Piec" offers for climbers four tors of a rate V to VI.3 on its western wall. Radioactivity of this rock is increased (0.39 microSv) but it is not dangerous for people.
