The facility is located in Kudowa-Zdrój, a town historically famous for its mineral water springs.
The Table Mountains (Stołowe Mountains) are the only mountains in Poland characterized by a plate-like, horizontal sedimentary rock structure.
The centre is integrated into the official infrastructure of the Stołowe Mountains National Park (Park Narodowy Gór Stołowych).
The exhibits use interactive models to demonstrate how millions of years of erosion created the 'rock city' formations.
The centre focuses on educating visitors about the 'Błędne Skały' (Errant Rocks) and 'Szczeliniec Wielki' mountain formations before they hike them.
The Ecocentre Table Mountains National Park serves as the primary educational facility for the Stołowe Mountains National Park in Poland. It functions as an interactive museum focused on the geological origins, biodiversity, and ecosystem conservation of the Table Mountains. The exhibits center on the unique sandstone rock formations that define the surrounding Sudetes landscape. Visitors can access multimedia displays, geological specimens, and interpretive materials explaining the park's karst topography. The facility specifically highlights the endemic flora and fauna protected within the national park boundaries. It acts as an information hub for tourists planning to enter the nearby trekking trails.
