"Prządki" Nature Reserve

The "Prządki" Nature Reserve is a protected complex of sandstone rock outliers, distinguished by forms shaped by natural erosional processes.

Established on February 14, 1957, the reserve aims to protect these characteristic rocks made of Lower Eocene Ciężkowice sandstone, which have been modeled primarily by aeolian (wind) erosion.

It is located in the Korczyna municipality, on the border of the Korczyna and Czarnorzeki villages, within the Czarnorzeki-Strzyżów Landscape Park, directly along the Krosno–Rzeszów route. Covering an area of 13.62 hectares, the site encompasses groups of rock outliers and the surrounding forest, making it one of the most recognizable landscape elements in the region.

The highest rocks reach up to 20 meters. Due to their characteristic shapes resembling human silhouettes, some of them have their own names (e.g., Zbój Madej [Madej the Robber] or Prządka-Matka [The Mother Spinner]). The ruins of Kamieniec Castle are also located within the reserve.
