Rezerwat przyrody Kalwaria Pacławska

The Kalwaria Pacławska Reserve spans 173 hectares of land, featuring oak-hornbeam forests and Carpathian beech forests at elevations between 257 and 413 meters.

In 2001, the reserve gained protected status to preserve both its natural forest communities and the religious complex established by Andrzej Maksymilian Fredro in 1677.

The reserve contains 42 chapels constructed between 1825 and 1875, including 35 brick structures and 7 wooden buildings spread across the forested hills.

The protected area provides habitats for numerous wildlife species, including European deer, wild boars, multiple bird species, and a diverse population of insects.

Near the Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene, distinctive dwarf oaks grow in unusual shapes due to the presence of siliceous marls beneath the soil.
