Hiking

This nature reserve is one of the most fascinating in the region. Of particular note are the dinosaur tracks, which were created approximately 200 million years ago. Although the tracks may not seem gigantic, they are impressive evidence of the existence of these prehistoric animals.

Hiking

Jet, also known as "black amber," is a fossilized material formed by the carbonization of prehistoric wood. It is characterized by its deep black, lustrous surface, which is often polished to create jewelry and decorative objects.
Jet is lightweight yet durable, making it ideal for fine carving. It has a smooth, silky texture and is warm to the touch due to its organic origin. Historically, jet has also been used as a protective and mourning adornment.

Hiking

A unique landscape, marked by a fascinating history. Millions of years ago, dinosaurs left their mark here, while today beavers are conquering the area. They use everything at their disposal and transform nature in their own way through their activities.
