will you find so many grand manor houses, churches, ruins of castles and charming towns? Add to this the virgin forests, the swift mountain rivers, the curious rocks – world-scale rarities.
Landscape-wise, Malopolska is very varied. In the south there are the towering Tatras, the only Polish alpine mountains. The Beskidy are gentle mountain ranges with beautiful woods, fields and valley lakes.
The calcareous Pieniny are quite different, and the place where the river Dunajec breaks through the mountains is a monument of nature of world-wide significance.
The valley of the biggest Polish river, the Vistula, cuts through the voivodship from the west to the east, creating a natural borderline between the mountains to the south and the lowlands to the north, the only exception on the northern side of the river being the Krakow-Czestochowa Upland. |
