Nature in Podlesice means the limestone of the Jura: the Zborów Hill reserve, Głęboka Cave and the Kroczyce Rocks, three places for forest outings.
The area lies in the Zawiercie district. White limestone, woods and low hills dominate, and together they form a single ridge.
Reaching 467 metres, Zborów Hill is a reserve and a significant place for climbers. Its western part hides Głęboka Cave, which is the sole cave of the northern Jura fitted out for visitors. Its passages total one hundred and ninety metres, and the mouth opens among the rocks called Raven Rocks.
The whole area joins up with the Kroczyce Rocks: a limestone ridge about four kilometres long in the central part of the Częstochowa Upland, neighbouring Zborów Hill, the same cave and the trails of the Jura. When you head out, remember the rules that apply in a reserve. More places with a natural character are listed under nature and on the Podlesice page.
It is a limestone rise in the Kraków-Częstochowa Jura, and a nature reserve at the same time.
One hundred and ninety metres. It lies in the western part of Zborów Hill, about a kilometre from Podlesice.
