Rezerwat przyrody Góra Zelejowa, Nature reserve in Świętokrzyskie Mountains, Poland
The Góra Zelejowa Nature Reserve extends over 51 hectares, featuring a limestone ridge and geological formations that display surface karst processes.
The extraction of calcite from this area began in the 14th century, with the rose-colored stone being used in the construction of notable buildings.
The distinctive pink and white calcite from Zelejowa Mountain, known as Chęciny marble, was used to decorate the interior of Wawel Cathedral.
Visitors can access the reserve through a red tourist trail from Kielc to Chęciny, with the nearest parking available at the Culture and Sports Center.
The reserve contains the longest limestone ridge in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains and features two former quarries that display mineral formations.
