Which peaks and rocks are worth knowing in Jaworki?

Durbaszka (934 m above sea level) is a modest summit in the main ridge of the Little Pieniny, along which the Polish-Slovak border runs. The Polish side is largely open, so you can see the Radziejowa Range and the Pieniny proper from here, and the Tatras through gaps in the trees. Smolegowa Rock rises at about 715 m in the Biała Woda Valley, about 80 m above the valley floor, and has five peaks. Above Homole Gorge lie the Kamienne Księgi, low limestone rocks on Dubantowska Clearing.
