The Pieprzowe Mountains being as old as around 500 million years owe their name to the colour of their rocks (“pieprzowe†meaning “of pepper†in Polish). The so-called argillaceous schist oxidised under the influence of atmospheric conditions and then crumbled to resemble pepper. Now they constitute a unique on the European scale geology and nature reserve dominated by wild rose and junipers with their navy-blue berries.
