Little Beskids Landscape Park

The Little Beskids Landscape Park lies on the border of the Silesian and Lesser Poland voivodeships and covers 257.7 km². Within Silesia lie 165.4 km² of the park, in Lesser Poland 92.3 km². Around the park a buffer zone of 227.58 km² has been designated.

Two mountain groups separated by the Soła valley

The park covers both parts of the Little Beskids, separated by the Soła valley. In the eastern part, in the Andrychów Beskids, the highest peak is Łamana Skała (929 m above sea level). In the west stretches the Magurka Wilkowicka range, with Czupel (933 m above sea level).

Rocks, caves and reserves

The hills are made mainly of Godula sandstones, and in the south limestones and shales occur. There are many caves in the park. Three nature reserves have been created here: Szeroka, Zasolnica and Madohora.

Management and surroundings

The Silesian part of the park is run by the Complex of Landscape Parks of the Silesian Voivodeship, which manages eight parks and carries out, among other things, observations of large predators. Next door lie Lake Międzybrodzie and the Chatka pod Potrójną hut.
