The Wykus partial reserve was established by the Ordinance of the Minister of Forestry and Wood Industry of October 11, 1978. The total area of the reserve is 53.01 ha, including 52.7 ha of forest and 0.31 ha of non-forest land. The reserve belongs to the Suchedniów Forest District, Bronkowice Forest District, Bodzentyn and Wąchock communes. The subject of protection in the reserve are diversified and highly natural forests with the participation of pine, fir and oak, hornbeam, birch, aspen and alder.

The age of the upper layer of trees varies from 70 to 100 years, with specimens reaching 140 years. They are a great natural asset of the reserve. The highest degree of naturalness is characteristic of forest-like fir and alder stands. The area of the reserve is overgrown with a number of forest vegetation communities, among which the following deserve attention: Carpathian beech forest, oak-hornbeam forest, upland fir forest, mixed forest, Central Polish mixed forest with fir and alder and ash riparian forest. Many interesting and protected species of plants grow in the undergrowth and undergrowth, including: hepatica, live onion, three-needle moss, bugle, laurel and clubmoss.
However, Wykus is famous above all for its many historical places. Large complexes of forests have long provided shelter to patriots fighting for the independence of our country. It was here that the January insurgents found shelter and the partisans of World War II.
The Wykus Reserve is an important junction of tourist trails. They lead to it:
- green hiking trail from Skarżysko (Mostek)
- blue pedestrian from Wąchock and Bodzentyn
- black pedestrian from Starachowice
- red bicycle from Mostki, Wąchock and Bronkowice
