Beech and fir forest along the upper Wieprz river in southeastern Poland

Forest covers 81.02 km2 of the park, and it includes more than 400 ancient trees classed as "nature monuments" and some of the largest firs in Poland, up to 50 metres high. The Wieprz valley, with its reintroduced beavers and Koniks, runs through the middle.
