Carpathian forest wilderness with sandstone rock formations and rich biodiversity
Magura National Park
Magura National Park is a protected area located in the southeastern border region of Poland, near Slovakia, spanning the boundary between the Subcarpathian and Lesser Poland Voivodeships. Established in 1995, the park encompasses approximately 194 square kilometers of the upper Wisłoka river basin and covers the heart of the Beskid Niski, one of Poland's lowest Carpathian mountain ranges. The park takes its name from the Magura Wątkowska massif, whose highest peak Wątkowa reaches 847 meters above sea level. The landscape is characterized by heavily forested low and medium-height mountain ridges, with fancifully sculpted sandstone formations that create dramatic rock scenes throughout the park. This area serves as a critical ecological corridor between the Western and Eastern Carpathians, making it significant for biodiversity conservation in Central Europe.
