Ślichowice Reserve in Kielce, Nature reserve in northwestern Kielce, Poland.

The protected area consists of a rock ledge dividing two quarries that reveal thin-layered Devonian limestone formations with visible calcite veins.

Established in 1952, Ślichowice became Poland's first geological reserve, spanning 0.55 hectares and featuring quarries that operated until 1970.

The reserve bears the name of Jan Czarnocki, a prominent geologist who dedicated his research to studying the geological structures of Świętokrzyskie Mountains.

Visitors can access the reserve through public transportation to Ślichowice district terminal or by car with free parking spaces available near the entrance.

The western quarry wall displays an exceptional example of an overturned fold structure, documented in geological textbooks as a model of tectonic phenomena.
