Tag - Kulenda Gorge

Kulenda Gorge – a gorge that forms the left branch of the Eliaszówka Valley in the Olkusz Upland, part of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The upper part of the gorge begins in the farmland of the village of Paczółtowice, then cuts into the forested eastern slopes of the Eliaszówka Valley. It reaches the valley floor at an elevation of approximately 340 meters above sea level near the Eliasz Spring.

The gorge was created by karst processes and is deeply cut into the limestone rocks. The lower part of the gorge is forested and located within the Eliaszówka Valley Nature Reserve, established in 1989.

The yellow-marked John Paul II Jurassic Valleys Trail and the red-marked walking trail around the Eliaszówka Valley run through the gorge.
