Gorce National Park

The park comprises the central part of the Gorce Range, with the exception of its highest peak, Turbacz. This is a typical mountain forest park with storied layers of tree stands. The Carpathian beech and fir woods make up the lower layer, while the upper layer is dominated by spruce forest. Both alpine and endemic plants cover the numerous mountain glades. The park's fauna includes such typical forest animals as red deer, roe deer, wild boars, lynxes, wildcats, and wolves. Worth special note is the population of wood grouse and the spotted salamander.
