Apparently this spring water will give you ability to over perform in bed and last 4 times longer. Legend says it will make you more fertile too. That's what old tales say here

The "Skałki Piekło pod Niekłaniem" nature reserve was established on April 1, 1959, in order to preserve, for scientific and didactic reasons, the peculiar forms of sandstone rocks formed by wind erosion and the northern parrot fern (Asplenium Septentrionale) living in rock crevices, on the initiative of Eng. Teodor Zielinski. It is the oldest nature reserve operating in the Stąporków Forest District.

The reserve was established in 1959 to preserve peculiar rock forms. The rocks in question were carved thanks to erosive processes in the Triassic and Lower Jurassic sandstones. Thanks to this, they stand out beautifully with yellow and orange, but also with a dark color against the green of the forest. At a length of several hundred meters, the rocks form two separate clusters. Following the blue trail from the parking lot, first we reach lower and darker rock formations, then we reach more colorful and magnificent, up to 8 m high inselbergs. These are rocks with extremely unusual shapes, such as mushrooms, chimneys, pulpits (pulpit), or… what your imagination will tell you.

One of the three named rock forms of the "Skałki Piekło pod Niekłaniem" reserve. "Jama Agi" delights with its oval "window", carved by water during the arduous process of erosion. It is one of the most beautiful rock forms of the reserve, reaching up to 7 meters, formed in Jurassic sandstone, dating back 200 million years. "Jama Agi" is also a dark and dry cave, about 8 meters long, forming a single corridor.

One of the three named rock forms of the "Skałki Piekło pod Niekłaniem" reserve. "Sympozjalne Shelter" has the shape of a broken rock table, which was torn off the rest of the rock block due to erosion, creating a niche. A beautiful rock form of Jurassic sandstone that is over 200 million years old, with numerous rock shelves in which ferns grow in an interesting way, reaching a height of 7 meters.
