Zbigniew Rubinowski Wietrznia Nature Reserve - an inanimate nature reserve on the site of the former Wietrznia quarry in Kielce, Świętokrzyskie Province. It includes the hills of Wietrznia and neighboring Międzygórz which are an extension of the Kadzielnia Range stretching through Kielce. They are built of limestone and dolomite rocks belonging to the Upper Devonian.

The total length of the excavations is about 900 m.

In the reserve there are valuable geological exposures: tectonic phenomena and processes, vein mineralization, underground and surface karst, fossil fauna

The green walking trail leading from Zamkowa Street to Bukówka passes through the reserve.
