Rezerwat przyrody Baniska

The Baniska Reserve spans across 141 hectares of protected forest land between 775 and 1035 meters above sea level in the Beskid Sądecki mountains.

Count Adam Stadnicki established the reserve in 1922 to protect the original Carpathian forests, with the area expanding from 17 to 141 hectares through subsequent regulations.

The reserve name originates from the Bania pond, reflecting the local geographic nomenclature of the Małopolska region's natural formations.

Visitors can explore the forest ecosystems through the Rogasiowy educational trail, which provides access to the protected area since 2005.

The reserve contains trees reaching 200 years of age, including European beech, fir specimens extending to 30 meters, and sycamore maples growing up to 25 meters.
