Nature reserve Góra św. Wawrzyńca

The reserve spans 0.75 hectares and features a defensive rampart covered with steppe vegetation, including rare species of feather grass on its southern slope.

Established in 1962, this protected area contains remnants of a Slavic settlement from 1065, which was burned by Prussian tribes in 1217.

The reserve represents a connection between natural preservation and archaeological heritage, containing layers of ancient settlements beneath its surface.

Visitors can access the reserve through a marked yellow trail called 'Chełmno Reserves', which connects multiple protected areas along the Vistula Valley.

The reserve contains specialized xerothermic grasslands that developed in previously deforested areas, supporting rare plant species like snake's-head fritillary and Turk's cap lily.
