See Rękawica (Glove or Five Fingers), Ojców National Park, Poland
Glove, also known as Five Fingers or White Hand - an outstanding rock with a characteristic shape in the Ojcowski National Park. It is built of Jurassic limestone. It is located in the central part of the Prądnik Valley, on its western slope in the massif of Góra Koronna and rises about 85 m above the bottom of the valley.
The name of the rock is associated with a legend, according to which during one of the Tatar invasions, the local population sought shelter in the Dark Cave, the entrance to which is nearby. However, the Tatars penetrated the valley looking for people. Then God covered the entrance to the cave with His own hand, thus saving people from death or ignominious slavery. Indeed, the rock, consisting of 5 finger-like columns in the upper part, resembles a hand in its shape. It is clearly visible both from the bottom of the valley and from the tourist trail leading through Góra Koronna. From the viewing platform at the entrance to the Dark Cave, you can see it up close, in profile. Rock climbing is not allowed on it.
