Bochotnica: Quarries and Geological Features
Accommodation in Bochotnica
In Bochotnica, you can combine your stay with a specific interest in quarries and geology. The named sites each have a different focus: a disused chamber quarry is protected as a documentation site of inanimate nature; another former quarry offers a geological profile and is home to all bat species found in Poland. There is also an exposure featuring a boundary between the Maastrichtian and the Paleocene that is rare in Central Europe. This gives your travel planning a clear thematic focus without reducing the sites to a single feature.
A protected chamber quarry
The disused chamber quarry Ścianka Pożaryskich is protected in Bochotnica as a documentation site of inanimate nature. Its protected designation dates from 1992. The combination of the former quarry and its protected status gives the site a distinctive character: the focus is on inanimate nature and its geological significance.
