Hiking

The Kozy Quarry is a picturesque place at the foot of the Beskid Mały Mountains, which delights with its steep, rocky walls and interesting history. Sandstone was once mined here, and today it is a popular viewpoint, from where there is a panorama of the Oświęcim Basin and Bielsko-Biała. It is also a great place for a short trip, accessible both on foot and by bike. Due to the steep cliffs, it is worth being careful, especially with children. The quarry is also popular with climbers and photography enthusiasts.

Hiking

The quarry is located at an altitude of 600 m above sea level in Kozy Górne, on the northern slope of Hrobacza Łąka (828 m above sea level) in the Beskid Mały Mountains, within the boundaries of the Beskid Mały Landscape Park, and also on the border of the Natura 2000 Beskid Mały area. It was established in the years 1910-1912, when aggregate production for rail and road transport began in the amount of about 100 thousand tons/year.

The quarry was decommissioned in the 1990s.

Hiking

A nice place for a short walk with views. A new large parking lot in front of the facility. Throughout, wide and comfortable gravel slopes increase accessibility for both strollers and wheelchairs. Viewing platforms provide beautiful views - in good conditions even of Silesia and Lesser Poland. There are several designated places to light a bonfire with a fireplace and benches. In good conditions it can be crowded.
