Góra Gipsowa Nature Reserve, Steppe nature reserve near Kietrz, Poland.

The Gora Gipsowa Nature Reserve spans 8.65 hectares on the southern slope of Gora Gipsowa mountain, reaching an elevation of 285 meters above sea level.

Friedrich Wilhelm Kolbing documented the notable flora of Gora Gipsowa mountain in 1837, identifying numerous plant species representing the Pontic element.

The reserve maintains natural steppe vegetation communities, featuring rare plants such as Inula hirta, Bupleurum falcatum, and Thesium linophyllon.

Visitors must follow designated paths within the reserve boundaries as access is restricted to protect the delicate steppe ecosystem.

From 1812 to 1972, underground gypsum mining operations took place on the southern slope, leaving traces visible in the current landscape.
