Zelejowa Mountain Nature Reserve

Definitely a great place, worth visiting. Entrance from the west is gentle on the grass, entrance from the east (Zelejowa Street in Łąki) at the end quite steep on slippery rocks along the ridge. Baby carriers for small children.

This is where the "różanka zelejowska" famous throughout the country comes from. Architectural details were made from it, which can be seen in the Chapel of the Three Kings in the parish church in Chęciny, as well as in the church in Kielce's Karczówka,
or in Kraków's Wawel. There are several viewpoints on the area of Góra Zelejowa. The reserve contains legally protected fauna and flora. Mountain plant zones can be observed here.
