Reserve of Skalki-Pshozhalsky

The Skalki-Pshojalski Reserve is located near the city of Krakow and occupies part of the territory of the Volsky Forest. The reserve was established in 1959 to protect rare meadow grasses and shrubs.

Here buckthorn grows, English ivy, lily, ordinary kalina and other plants. The total area of the reserve is 1.38 hectares of protruding rocks, meadows and overflows.

The reserve is under the care of the Jagiellonian University, located in Krakow. There is an active research activity aimed at preserving rare plant species. In the vicinity of the reserve are the remains of buildings from the Second World War. The territory of the reserve is of great interest, for the preservation of the unique nature of the Malopolska Voivodeship.
