On August 23, 1959, PTTK placed a marble commemorative plaque on the boulder dedicated to Stanisław Groński, in 1976 it was changed to a metal one, with the inscription: In memory of Stanisław Groński, leading Polish mountaineer, Pioneer of tourism in the Szczecin Region. He died in the Mont Blanc massif in August 1957.

    The Groński boulder is an erratic boulder: a colossus. It has been a natural monument since 1956.
