Gwarkowa Perć in the Opawskie Mountains is an artificial rock outcrop located in the central-northern part of the Opawskie Mountains, on the south-eastern slope of the Bukowa Góra elevation. It is located about 1.5 km southeast of Jarnołtówek. Gwarkowa Perć consists of the walls of a mining excavation from an inactive quarry created after the exploitation of phyllite slates. As a result of exploitation works, the quarry excavation at an altitude of 430 m above sea level cut horizontally into the south-eastern slope of the elevation, causing an artificial exposure of rock layers. The exploitation was carried out in layers (stepped), as a result of which characteristic shelves called "pulpits" remained. The exposed rocks and the inactive quarry excavation are protected as a monument of inanimate nature. A blue tourist trail leads through Gwarkowa Perć. Practical information: The facility is generally accessible. Free parking spaces in Pokrzywna.
