Slovakia's smallest national park protecting a dramatic limestone river gorge on the Polish border

Pieniny National Park

Pieniny National Park is a protected area in northern Slovakia located in the eastern Pieniny Mountains along the border with Poland. Established on 16 January 1967, it is the smallest national park in Slovakia, covering 37.5 square kilometers with a buffer zone of 224.44 square kilometers. The park encompasses dramatic limestone cliffs, deep river gorges, and the famous Dunajec River Gorge, which marks much of the border between the two countries. The landscape features several distinct sub-ranges including the Lesser Pieniny (Malé Pieniny), with the park's highest point at Vysoké skalky reaching 1,050 meters above sea level. The region has a remarkable conservation history, as the broader Zamagurie area became Europe's first protected international nature park in 1932, making this one of the oldest cross-border protected landscapes in Europe.
