Pasterskie Skały

Like a row of gigantic fins formed of conglomerate, these rocks mark the crest of a hill near the village of Idzików, at the western foot of Śnieżnik Massif. Today they are called Pasterskie Skały (Shepherds' Rocks), before World War II they were known as Sieben Hirten (Seven Shepherds). As legend has it, seven shepherds were turned to stone here, but telling by the size of the rocks, of which only four are nearly 10m high, it must have been four adult shepherds, one kid and two sheepdogs :-) Better photos on pomniki-przyrody.odskok.pl.
