Pyskowice geopoint

Dodaj do planera

It is an interesting attraction, which is located on the school square, which is itself a historic park with old trees and a dry, but deep moat.

In the 1950s, in the vicinity of Pyskowice and Rudziniec, there was a sand mine in which animal bones were dug out during operation. After reconstruction, it turned out that they are fragments of the skeleton of the great mammoth and woolly rhinoceros, animals living in the Pleistocene epoch.

Two of the reconstructed 5-meter-long and 3-meter-wide skeletons of the mammoths of Pyskowice are today in museums: Gliwice and geological museums in Warsaw. In the Piast Castle there is also a skeleton of a woolly rhinoceros from Pyskowice. In cooperation with the Faculty of Earth Sciences of the University of Silesia, faithful replicas of the mammoth and woolly rhinoceros, animals extinct over two million years ago, were reconstructed and placed in the school park. The place is open to the public and can be visited free of charge, without any restrictions.
