Suchogórski Rock Labyrinth

Suchogórski Rock Labyrinth – the ore-mining activity left deep valleys, steep ridges with dolomite outcrops and numerous ravines, barrows and rises with steep slopes which provide a biodiversity habitat in combination with the versatile flora species. Until early 20th century, the open-pit limonite and dolomite mine operated which contributed to the emergence of this interesting, diversified terrain. Due to the natural succession and planting in the 1960s, the complex is covered by different tree species, with the prevalence of deciduous ones, represented by Norway and field maple, sycamore, European hornbeam, European ash, European white birch, European beech, small-leaved linden, black locust, black cherry and red oak. The infrequent coniferous trees include European larch and Scotch pine. The wildlife and landscape complex developed interesting vegetation cover, including protected species. The site resembles a labyrinth which is reflected in its name.
