Rezerwat przyrody Skałki Stoleckie

Located on the southern slope of Wapienna Mountain at 398 meters elevation, this reserve features limestone quarry walls, caves, and underground tunnels spanning 300 meters.

The reserve, established in 1965 by the Ministry of Forestry, originated from a limestone crystal mining operation that operated during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The neighboring Stolec Castle, constructed in 1730, became a storage location for valuable artifacts from Wrocław during World War II.

Two marked hiking trails lead to the reserve: a black route from Szklary through Wzgórza Dobrzenieckie and a yellow path connecting Bardo through Ząbkowice Śląskie.

The site hosts the northernmost habitat of four Mediterranean insect species, including the only Polish population of the mason bee that builds clay nests on limestone.
