Nature reserve Wilcza Góra, Nature reserve near Złotoryja, Poland

The geological reserve encompasses a basalt hill rising 367 meters above sea level in the northern section of Kaczawskie Foothills.

The site functioned as one of six official flight schools in Lower Silesia before World War II and played a role during Napoleonic wars.

The peak of the hill contains remnants of ancient settlements, indicating its potential use as a religious or ceremonial location through different periods.

Visitors can access the reserve through a 30-minute walk from the free parking area, with information boards and resting spots along the path.

The reserve features vertical basalt columns and concentric fracture systems known as basalt rosettes, formed by volcanic activity 20 million years ago.
