Kotunka near Legi
Highlight • Natural Monument
In the vicinity of Kotuńka, the current of the Dunajec is particularly fast, creating whirlpools that bounce off the water. This is used by mountain canoeists, who often train here (there are gates on the left side of Kotuńka). Like many Pieniny rocks, there is also a legend about Kotuńka. According to this, the devil carried a huge boulder that he wanted to throw at the Pieniny Castle on Zamkowa Góra, where St. Kinga was hiding from the Tatars. However, his plan was foiled by the crowing of a rooster, and all the devil's strength left him. The stone left by the devil fell into the river without hurting anyone. This is a motif used in numerous legends.
Kotuńka is 9.5 m high and its peak is 438 m above sea level. In the years 1875-1912 a sculpture of a mountaineer greeting guests arriving in Štiavnica stood on it, and in 1997 a similar sculpture was placed (which is sometimes dismantled). The origin of the rock's name is unclear. Jadwiga Łuszczewska wrote in 1869 that: "He is called Kotunia because he looks out of the water with a mischievous movement, as if a cat were lurking for him..." (Translated from Wikipedia).
