Rezerwat przyrody Góra Rzepka, Nature reserve in Chęciny, Poland.
Rezerwat przyrody Góra Rzepka is a nature reserve near Chęciny covering around 9.5 hectares with former dolomite extraction areas and exposed rock formations. The site displays multiple layers of stone and geological structures that sit within the Świętokrzyski Geopark.
The reserve was designated in 1981 after dolomite mining stopped in the 1970s. The protection preserved the exposed rock formations that record millions of years of geological history.
The site bears the marks of extraction work that shaped the landscape over time. Visitors come to witness the exposed quarry walls and examine the layered rocks that tell the story of how this place was used.
The site can be explored via marked walking trails that lead through different sections of the reserve. Wear sturdy shoes since paths cross uneven terrain with exposed rocks and stone.
On clear days the summit offers views of the distant Tatra Mountains to the south. Visitors can also spot traces of lead and silver ore left exposed during the extraction period.
