The 9 Most Amazing Peaks around Strawczyn

Góra Ciosowa is a monument of inanimate nature: a beautiful exposed rock (red sandstone) in a beautiful forest. Just a few steps away from the Main Świętokrzyski Trail. These rocks are 240 million years old, and this one is so exposed because a quarry once operated here. It's worth it!

Brusznia Mountain (308m above sea level) made of Devonian limestone. It is covered with forest. In January 1863, there was a secret meeting of the January insurgents here, who planned an attack on Kielce, then under Russian rule. Today, there is a Scout Cross in their memory, which was erected in 1917.

Place of historical mining of vein calcite and calcite-limestone breccia known as "Różanka Zelejowska". These rocks have been used since the 15th century as technical "marbles" valued by architects.
