Rezerwat przyrody Zaskalskie-Bodnarówka

Rezerwat przyrody Zaskalskie-Bodnarówka is a nature reserve in the Małe Pieniny set on steep slopes with limestone rocks. The Skalski stream has carved deep gorges through Carpathian rock formations.

The site was designated as a protected reserve in 1961 to safeguard specific forest landscapes. This protection aimed to preserve rare plant communities that thrive on limestone formations.

The access path crosses through former agricultural fields of Skalskie, where a Lemko village once stood before passing through a natural rock gate. This route connects farming history with the wild mountain landscape.

Visiting requires prior permission from the forest management office since the path is not an official tourist trail. Plan your visit accordingly to arrange access beforehand.

The reserve harbors rare plant species including a unique two-leafed plant and serves as habitat for the endangered eagle owl. This specialized wildlife makes the site particularly valuable for nature observation.
