Nature reserve Dolina Potoku Rudno

The reserve spans 95.94 hectares of protected land, featuring steep ravines, forest complexes, and the meandering Rudno stream through the Polish Jura landscape.

The nature reserve received its official protected status in 2001 through a legal act published in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship Official Journal number 4, item 16.

The reserve forms an integral part of the Rudno Landscape Park, contributing to the preservation of Poland's natural heritage through educational programs and research initiatives.

Visitors can access the reserve through marked cycling trails from Krzeszowice, exploring the forested hills and observing the geological formations of the former Orlej porphyry quarry.

The reserve contains notable stands of giant horsetail plants and preserves a section of black alder forest within the larger Orlej Forest complex.
