Nature reserve Bonarka, Nature reserve in Krakow, Poland
The Bonarka reserve covers 2.29 hectares of land at 240 meters above sea level, featuring geological formations and an abandoned quarry within its boundaries.
The reserve, established in 1961, contains a former quarry where Upper Cretaceous marls were extracted for about 100 years to supply the Bonarka cement factory.
Scientists and students regularly visit the reserve to study its geological features, conducting research on the diverse fauna fossils and mineral formations.
The location provides marked trails for visitors to explore the geological formations while maintaining proper conservation measures to protect the natural environment.
The site contains the only documented Upper Cretaceous transgression abrasion surface in Europe, along with rare mineral chatchettine deposits in its marls.
