Skały Kroczyckie, limestone rock formation in Podlesice, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Skały Kroczyckie is a series of limestone hills in the middle of the Jura region that stretch across several kilometers and take their name from the nearby town of Kroczyce. The highest point, Góra Zborów, rises to 462 meters and contains unusual rock formations along with the accessible cave Jaskinia Głęboka within a protected nature reserve.

The limestone of these hills is the remnant of a Mesozoic sea, later covered by sandy soils shaped by Pleistocene glaciers. On Słupsko hill, two archaeological sites are documented: a Middle Palaeolithic camp and an early medieval stronghold. The range stretches about 4 km from the Dzibice reservoir to regional road 792.

The hills are crossed by two long-distance Jura trails, the Szlak Orlich Gniazd and the Szlak Warowni Jurajskich, as well as the Szlak Zamonitu and marked cycling and skiing routes. Climbers use the limestone towers around Góra Zborów and Kołoczek, where the Góra Zborów nature reserve protects the rock and grassland.

The range runs about 4 km from the Dzibice reservoir on the Białka to regional road 792 between Kroczyce and Żarki. The Eagle Nests Trail and the Jura Fortress Trail cross the hills, and a nature path leads through the Góra Zborów reserve. The only cave open to visitors, Jaskinia Głęboka, lies at the foot of Dwoista Baszta.

Jaskinia Głęboka, at the foot of the Dwoista Baszta tower, is the only cave in the northern part of the Jura made accessible to tourists. Other caves and rock shelters in the range remain closed. The hills also hold two archaeological sites on Słupsko: an early medieval stronghold and a Middle Palaeolithic camp.
