Cieszynskie Zrodla Tufowe
The site includes four isolated, active spring areas with deposition of calcareous tufa and travertines as well as typical moss flora (Cratoneurion alliance). Another proof of the area's special natural value are numerous plant habitats important for preserving the biodiversity of Europe.

Gentle hills, which are cut by numerous deep v-shaped valleys, are built of rocks belonging to the strongly undulated Cieszyn nappe (the Cieszyn beds). more »
