Gorce National Park

Gorce National Park is a national park in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, southern Poland. It covers central and northeastern parts of the Gorce Mountains, which are part of the Western Beskids.

The first steps to protect this land go back to 1927, when a forest reserve was set up on land owned by Count Ludwik Wodzicki of Poręba Wielka. The National Park was created in 1981, then covering 23.9 square kilometres. Today, the area of the park has grown to 70.3 km2, of which 65.91 km2 is forested. The area of the protective zone around the park is 166.47 km2. The park lies within Limanowa County and Nowy Targ County, and has its headquarters in Poręba Wielka.
