Morasko Meteorite Nature Reserve, Meteor impact site and nature reserve in Poznań, Poland.

The reserve contains seven meteor craters within 55 hectares of protected land, with the largest crater measuring 100 meters in diameter and 11 meters deep.

German soldiers first discovered meteorite fragments in 1914 while building military fortifications, leading to subsequent findings including a 300-kilogram specimen in 2012.

The Earth Museum at Adam Mickiewicz University maintains a collection of meteorite fragments found within the reserve for scientific research and public education.

Visitors can reach the reserve using Poznań bus lines 88 and 188, with no entrance fees required to explore the marked trails and observe the impact sites.

Five of the seven craters contain natural lakes, surrounded by an oak-hornbeam forest that shelters protected plant species and numerous bird populations.
