Sokole Góry Nature Reserve
Rezerwat przyrody Sokole Góry
A limestone forest reserve near Olsztyn, with beech woods, caves, and climbing walls.
The Sokole Góry (Falcon Mountains) Nature Reserve lies about 15 km southeast of Częstochowa. It is the largest nature reserve in the northern Polish Jura, covering beech and pine forests, limestone peaks, and dozens of caves. The largest caves include the Mole Cave. Marked trails run through the reserve and can be hiked from Olsztyn Castle, and there are climbing spots along the way. Entry is free. Many caves remain undeveloped, so visitors must bring their own lighting and take care when entering.
