Land of Extinct Volcanoes UNESCO Global Geopark

The Land of Extinct Volcanoes in Lower Silesia is a real gem in the Kaczawskie Mountains and Foothills. The area located between Legnica, Jelenia Góra and Strzegom will delight every enthusiast of nature, geology and history. The region abounds in fascinating remains from ancient volcanic activity hundreds of millions of years ago, such as extinct volcanoes, basalt columns and other rock formations that not only impress with their appearance, but also tell the story of our planet. It is no wonder that this year it was included in the UNESCO Global Geoparks List. The area offers a variety of landscapes – from gentle rolling hills to picturesque valleys. It is an ideal place for hiking, cycling and climbing, during which you can enjoy the beauty of nature and spot rare species of plants and animals. The area of the geopark encompasses 10 nature reserves, the Chełmy Landscape Park and areas protected under the Natura 2000 programme.
