Babia Góra National Park

The park covers 33.92 square kilometers with 85 percent forest area, including the northern and southern sides of the Babia Góra mountain range.

The area was initially protected as a nature reserve in 1933 before its official designation as a national park on October 30, 1954.

The territory preserves traditional wooden churches and remnants of mountain settlements that reflect the heritage of local communities through generations.

Visitors can access 50 kilometers of marked hiking trails, nine educational paths, and accommodation facilities at the Markowe Szczawiny hostel.

The park contains 630 vascular plant species, 280 bryophyte species, and over 1300 fungi varieties across distinct altitude-based vegetation zones.
