The Góra Grojec nature reserve protects an isolated limestone hill covered with beech forest in the municipality of Woźniki. It was established on 31 October 1996, and its area is 17.53 hectares.

What kind of forest grows here

The tree stand is dominated by European beech, with an admixture of spruce, fir, sycamore, hornbeam, oak and lime. The undergrowth includes protected plants such as mezereon, martagon lily, lily of the valley and angular Solomon's seal.
