The reserve covers a 7-kilometer fragment of the groundbreaking Wetlinka and Solinka valleys with plant habitats with different gradients of humidity and fertility. The reserve has numerous plant and animal refuges resulting from the specific location and varied topography. Among the many plant species occurring within the reserve, special attention deserves: Eastern Carpathian Aconitum (Aconitum lasiocarpum), Roundnose grenadier (Cephalanthera longifolia) and large-flower roundnose grenadier (Cephalanthera damasonium), listed in the Polish Red Book of Plants.
