August 5, 2025, Spring in Niekłań Wielki

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 rocks stretch for about 1 kilometre, their height reaches 8 metres. The Skałki Piekło nature reserve under Niekłaniem is the starting point of the black tourist trail of the black tourist trail leading to the town of Wólka Plebańska. The blue tourist trail from Skarżysko-Kamienna (Pogorzałe) to Kuźniaki passes through the reserve. It is also a point on the Piekielny Szlak.

Jet, also known as "black amber," is a fossilized material formed by the carbonization of prehistoric wood. It is characterized by its deep black, lustrous surface, which is often polished to create jewelry and decorative objects. Jet is lightweight yet durable, making it ideal for fine carving. It has a smooth, silky texture and is warm to the touch due to its organic origin. Historically, jet has also been used as a protective and mourning adornment.

This nature reserve is one of the most fascinating in the region. Of particular note are the dinosaur tracks, which were created approximately 200 million years ago. Although the tracks may not seem gigantic, they are impressive evidence of the existence of these prehistoric animals.

A unique landscape, marked by a fascinating history. Millions of years ago, dinosaurs left their mark here, while today beavers are conquering the area. They use everything at their disposal and transform nature in their own way through their activities.

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.
