Gorce Mountains, Mountain range in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
The Gorce Mountains feature numerous ridges extending 40 kilometers with peaks reaching heights of 1,310 meters at Turbacz, the highest elevation point.
The mountain range received its name from the verb 'gorzeć', documented in 1254, referring to the traditional practice of burning fields between forests.
The Bulanda Chapel stands on Jaworzyna Kamienicka glade, constructed through funding from shepherd Tomasz Chlipała in the early twentieth century.
The Gorce National Park contains marked hiking trails leading to mountain huts, with the main route to Turbacz peak starting from Koninki village.
The Suhora peak at 1,000 meters houses an astronomical observatory operated by the Pedagogical University of Kraków.
