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.

Description of the facility:

The Góra Zelejowa reserve covers the massif of Góra Zelejowa (360 m above sea level). Here you can admire the longest limestone ridge in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, surface karst forms, two large quarries and several smaller quarry pits. 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. The endangered species of this place includes the Podolia beetle.

A red hiking trail, the ŚSA-G educational trail and bicycle trails run through the Góra Zelejowa Reserve and its vicinity.
