Nature reserve Madohora

Nature reserve Madohora is a protected area featuring sandstone rock formations and old-growth forests on the slopes of Łamana Skała mountain. The land spans two administrative regions with varied elevations and different forest types throughout.

The reserve was established in 1960 to protect the natural forest stands from development and damage. This decision came from conservationists working to preserve these woodland areas for future generations.

The reserve connects communities from Silesia and Małopolska through shared access to these forests and rocky slopes. Visitors from both regions use the trails to experience a landscape that belongs to no single area but to all who walk through it.

Three marked hiking trails cross the reserve with different lengths and difficulty levels. The red trail offers a more comprehensive route, while shorter sections are available for quicker visits.

The reserve is home to rare moss species protected by Poland's endangered plant lists. These specialized plants thrive in the moist conditions found among the sandstone rocks.
