Tips from the Community
The Piekło Cave under Skiby is 57 meters long. Where does this name come from? Apparently the locals gave it the name "Piekło" because devils were supposed to fly out of its interior. The cave has sculptures of devils made by Krzysztof Jasiński.

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.

A nice little cave. Lots of mosquitoes, it's worth taking flashlights for fun.

Definitely a great place, worth visiting. Entrance from the west is gentle on the grass, entrance from the east (Zelejowa Street in Łąki) at the end quite steep on slippery rocks along the ridge. Baby carriers for small children.

It was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, founded by Wenceslaus II, rebuilt by the last two Piasts. It had defensive and residential functions, it was a state prison, a place where the crown treasury was stored. On May 26, 1331, a congress of knights from all Polish lands took place at the foot of the hill. Destroyed during the Swedish wars. Restored and made available again in 2015.

The access is quite good from the side of the forest road. Trekking / cross / MTB / Gravel will do the trick ;-)

The Stokówka quarry is located within the Skibskie Mountains belonging to the Zelejowski Range. The excavation, which is closed today, crosses the Stokówka Mountain crosswise, creating a characteristic gap. A calcite vein, consisting of several generations, was exploited here. As a result, the obtained rock blocks were multi-colored (from white to pink). The rocks that were once obtained here belong to the so-called rhodium zelejowska. Mining was carried out here in the second half of the 20th century for about five years.
