Magura National Park

Forested Beskid Niski ridges and sandstone rocks in south-east Poland

Heavily forested low and medium peaks of the Beskid Niski surround the Wisłoka river, which frequently changes its course. Erosion has sculpted the sandstones of the Kornuty reserve into odd shapes, hiding fracture caves such as Mroczna (Murky) Cave.
