Rezerwat przyrody Bielańskie Skałki, Nature reserve in Krakow-Bielany, Poland.
Bielańskie Skałky is a nature reserve within Wolski Forest featuring limestone cliffs and rock formations along a hillside. The site covers roughly 1.7 hectares with marked trails guiding visitors from Księcia Józefa street through the area to Aleja Wędrowników.
The area received official protection in 1957 to preserve natural forest growth on terrain that had previously remained bare and rocky. This designation was important for safeguarding the gradual process of vegetation returning to exposed stone surfaces.
The name refers to the limestone rock formations that shape the landscape throughout the area. Visitors can observe how the rocky terrain and surrounding forest define this place's character.
The site is easiest to access from Księcia Józefa street where the trail begins. The marked pathways are straightforward to follow and lead through the protected area toward the forest edge.
The rocky cliffs create a warm, dry environment where specialized plants have adapted to survive in these extreme conditions. These drought-resistant species are rare to find and make the area biologically remarkable.
