Nature reserve Dolina Racławki

The Dolina Racławki reserve extends over 3 kilometers between Paczółtowice and Dubie villages, featuring limestone formations and dense forest coverage along the valley.

The area emerged from a shallow warm sea 390-310 million years ago, resulting in a 1000-meter thick limestone complex visible throughout the reserve.

Three educational trails guide visitors through the valley, offering insights into geological structures and natural environments characteristic of the Kraków region.

The reserve contains marked paths that require approximately 10 hours to complete all routes, with access points near Dubie and Racławice villages.

The valley houses 27 protected plant species, including multiple orchid varieties, while limestone caves provide shelter for bat populations.
