    Hiking

    The Groński boulder is an erratic boulder: a colossus. It has been a natural monument since 1956.

    And who was Groński? Stanisław Groński was a Polish mountaineer and a pioneer of tourism in the Szczecin region, as you will learn from the information placed on the boulder itself. Mr. Groński died a tragic death during an expedition to Mont Blanc in 1957.

    Gravel riding

    Głaz Grońskiego is an impressive erratic boulder, a natural monument, located in the heart of the Szczecin Landscape Park "Puszcza Bukowa". Although it lies right on the administrative border of Szczecin (near the Bukowe Estate), geographically it is located within the Stare Czarnowo commune. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks and tourist stops in this part of the forest.

    Erratic boulder, grey-pink gneiss, medium-grained, detached block with a visible hole for placing an explosive charge. Boulder circumference 12.3 m, height above ground level 1.4 m.

    Until 1957, the boulder was called the Świętochowski Stone or Bolkowy Głaz (-Stone), in honor of Bolesław Krzywousty. On August 23, 1959, PTTK placed a marble commemorative plaque on the boulder dedicated to Stanisław Groński, in 1976 it was changed to a metal one, with the inscription: In memory of Stanisław Groński, leading Polish mountaineer, Pioneer of tourism in the Szczecin Region. He died in the Mont Blanc massif in August 1957.
