The Gagaty Sołtykowskie Reserve is a place located far away from most of the attractions in the region, but it is worth visiting. An ideal location for a weekend walk, enriched with educational values!
If I had to recommend you a period of the year for your visit
the one which we visit this place wasn’t the best
There is a lot of mud in the reserve and on the road leading to it
The Gagaty Sołtykowskie Reserve is located 2 kilometers from the border with the Mazowieckie Voivodeship (Stąporków commune
The closest major towns are Stąporków (8 kilometers) and Bliżyn (9 kilometers)
The turn from road number 42 is signposted
After driving a few hundred meters along the forest road
we reach the parking lot where we can leave the car
There are also information boards and picnic tables
There is about a kilometer of walk from the car park to the reserve
The road is paved and runs mostly through forest
This reserve was established in 1997 and covers an area of 13.88 hectares
the exposures of Lower Jurassic rocks and interesting mineralogical and palaeontological specimens together with forest communities and water reservoirs
The excavation of ceramic clay was carried out here
some of which run along the bridges built over the wetlands
When walking around the reserve in the warm months
watch out for vipers that like to bask in the sun
traces of dinosaurs were discovered in the Gagaty Sołtykowskie reserve
They were left in the sandy-clay shore of the river backwaters
A roofed pavilion has been built above the largest slab containing traces
thanks to which you will not miss them for sure
An interesting fact is that there are both traces of young and adult individuals
These traces were left by herbivorous sauropods that lived there 200 million years ago
They are said to be one of the oldest traces of the herding lifestyle of these animals
You will also find traces of other genres on the album
I mention to you about the biggest track of a dinosaur in Poland
such finds have been made in the Gagagaty Sołtykowskie reserve
It was almost 60 centimeters in size and belonged to the predatory allozauropod
you can observe fossils of Jurassic plants such as horsetail
The reserve also used to extract jet – a bituminous type of brown coal
It is sometimes called black amber and was used in the production of jewelry (especially mourning)
It owes its name to the city and the Gagas River (Turkey)
This jewelry was popular during the times of national uprisings and symbolized rebellion and resistance against the invaders
If the Gagaty Sołtykowskie reserve is not a sufficient reason for a trip
you will find the Skałki Piekło pod Niekłaniem reserve right next to it
Magic rocks in the middle of the forest trigger the imagination
Gagaty Sołtykowskie is a very interesting place
I think that the traces of dinosaurs will definitely impress you and your children
My name is Jakub Juszyński and I create this place
