Chełmy Landscape Park, nestled within the Kaczawa Foothills and brushing against the Kaczawa Mountains and Chojnów Plain, is a region celebrated for its rich geological history and diverse landscapes. This area, once dominated by volcanic activity, now offers a unique blend of natural wonders, making it a captivating destination for nature enthusiasts. Below are the five key attractions that highlight the park's remarkable features:

The gorge is home to a diverse range of fern species, thriving in the cool, moist microclimate created by the Jawornik stream. Its accessibility and the presence of amenities make it a popular spot, though it's best visited during quieter times to fully appreciate its natural beauty.
