Góra Ciosowa is a monument of inanimate nature: a beautiful exposed rock (red sandstone) in a beautiful forest. Just a few steps away from the Main Świętokrzyski Trail.

These rocks are 240 million years old, and this one is so exposed because a quarry once operated here. It's worth it!

Description:

The inanimate nature monument Góra Ciosowa was established in 1987 by order of the Kielce Voivode. The subject of protection is a geological outcrop of Lower Triassic, red sandstones left after an inactive quarry. The exposure takes the form of a rock wall up to 20 m high and about 70 m long.

"The exposure presents large-scale diagonal layering of sandstones, which, together with other interesting sedimentary structures, documents the aeolian genesis of the sediment. There are also structures here that indicate the periodically prevailing aquatic environment during the formation of the sediment: current ripples, drying cracks, deposited mud rolls." - a difficult fragment from the regulation...

The red Edmund Massalski hiking trail runs through the hill.
