Sunflower is located in southwestern Poland, in the Western Sudetes, in the Karkonosze Mountains. It is a rock formation consisting of several strongly cracked granite inselbergs, of which the northern pillar, viewed from the eastern side, resembles a human figure carved in the rock. Situated at an altitude of 1,423 m above sea level, it rises to a height of 12.5 m. It towers over Karpacz Górny and the surrounding area, it is the most characteristic and most visible rock in the Karkonosze Mountains, which can be seen from almost the entire Jelenia Góra Valley. The fanciful shapes of the rock are the result of a complex and long-term erosion process, during which elements that were less resistant to weather conditions were removed and the more resistant ones remained. This was possible thanks to the existence of ash, i.e. natural cracks running in three directions. Sunflower is one of the most interesting and most frequently visited rocks in the Karkonosze Mountains.
