Located in the heart of Kielce, the Kadzielnia Nature Reserve is a unique geological site with a rich history. Composed of Upper Devonian limestones, (approximately 295 m. a.s.l.). Its distinctive landscape is the result of centuries of limestone quarrying. Kadzielnia is not only a reserve with unique rock formations but also a venue for numerous cultural events. It’s a paradise for climbers and speleologists.
Kadzielnia’s history dates back to the Middle Ages, when a chapel stood on its site. However, it was the reclamation of the former quarry in the 20th century that transformed it into a symbol of Kielce’s renewal. Today, it is a place where history meets the present and nature intertwines with culture.
