Sawanna Łężycka (Łężyce Savanna also known as Łężyckie Rocks, Skałki Łężyckie) is the informal name of the terrain laying south of the Rogowa Kopa mountain (790 m a.s.l.), in the south-western part of the Stołowe (Table) Mountains. The most characteristic feature of the area are the scattered sandstone blocks in allochthonous position. Their origin is still unclear. More than 40 boulders can be found here, from the smallest 2–3 m long to massive ones up to 10 m long and 5–6 m high. They owe their survival to the massiveness of the ‘Upper Sandstone’ and its much higher resistance compared to easily erodible mudstone.

In the past, the sandstones of Sawanna Łężycka were used for the local purposes as an easy accessible material. A few blocks still show signs of such activity and it's very likely some may have disappeared completely.
