An inanimate nature reserve in the Konecko-Łopuszniański Protected Landscape Area in the Stąporków commune, in the Konecki district, in the northern part of the Świętokrzyskie province, near the town of Niekłań Wielki. The rocks stretch for about 1 kilometre, their height reaches 8 metres. The Skałki Piekło nature reserve under Niekłaniem is the starting point of the black tourist trail of the black tourist trail leading to the town of Wólka Plebańska. The blue tourist trail from Skarżysko-Kamienna (Pogorzałe) to Kuźniaki passes through the reserve. It is also a point on the Piekielny Szlak.

Jet, also known as "black amber," is a fossilized material formed by the carbonization of prehistoric wood. It is characterized by its deep black, lustrous surface, which is often polished to create jewelry and decorative objects. Jet is lightweight yet durable, making it ideal for fine carving. It has a smooth, silky texture and is warm to the touch due to its organic origin. Historically, jet has also been used as a protective and mourning adornment.

This nature reserve is one of the most fascinating in the region. Of particular note are the dinosaur tracks, which were created approximately 200 million years ago. Although the tracks may not seem gigantic, they are impressive evidence of the existence of these prehistoric animals.

An extremely diverse place that impresses with its landscape and appearance. Lovingly designed bridges lead to the impressive dinosaur footprints. The surrounding forests hold numerous surprises - a trip here is highly recommended.

A unique landscape, marked by a fascinating history. Millions of years ago, dinosaurs left their mark here, while today beavers are conquering the area. They use everything at their disposal and transform nature in their own way through their activities.

The "Skałki Piekło pod Niekłaniem" nature reserve was established on April 1, 1959, in order to preserve, for scientific and didactic reasons, the peculiar forms of sandstone rocks formed by wind erosion and the northern parrot fern (Asplenium Septentrionale) living in rock crevices, on the initiative of Eng. Teodor Zielinski. It is the oldest nature reserve operating in the Stąporków Forest District.

A great place, a must to visit whenever you are nearby. The reserve was established in 1997. It covers an area of 13.33 hectares and is called "Gagaty Sołtykowskie". The middle-forest gravel road will lead us to the car park, from where the trail is quite well marked with boards and will lead us to the reserve. It is an old closed clay pit where in the mid-70s of the last century one of the major geological curiosities of the region was found - jet. The jet occurred as a fossil accompanying the basic mineral which was ceramic clays. There is a bit of a conflict here with the classification of the jet. One thing you have to admit - he's definitely a rock. And the term fossil probably comes from the fact that it perfectly reproduces the shape and structure of the wood from which it was made.
