Torfowiska Orawsko-Nowotarskie
Do you remember "Macbeth" and Scottish wastelands enveloped in the fog? You do not have to go that far to see similar views. It is enough to go to Czarny Dunajec or climb Babia Gora and look south-east towards the Orawa-Nowy Targ Valley. You will see one of the biggest active raised bogs in Poland. Torfowiska Orawsko-Nowotarskie are site of community importance within Natura 2000 European Network. Peatbogs, called "puscizny" lie in Orawa-Nowy Targ Valley and stretch over the area of 7363 ha, from Chyzne to Nowy Targ.  more »
