Quarry in Kozy, Stone quarry in Kozy, Poland.
The Quarry in Kozy is an excavated site with steep rock walls and a small lake at its center, revealing layers of Carpathian flysch rock formations. The exposed walls display the geological structure built over millions of years.
Operations at the quarry began between 1910 and 1912 under Marian Czecz and became a major workplace for local communities. Extraction continued for several decades, eventually leaving behind the dramatic landscape seen today.
The site has become a place where school groups learn about the geology of the region and its connection to the landscape. Visitors experience how stone extraction shaped the character of this mountain area.
Access is provided through a green-marked hiking trail that has been established since 2021 and connects to the regional mountain path network. The trail offers good accessibility and links to other established routes in the area.
The site contains a rare geological exposure of rock layers that appears nowhere else with this concentration across Europe's major mountain ranges. This distinction makes it valuable for geologists and curious visitors interested in understanding the continent's rock formations.
