The headquarter if the Gorce National Park. The Park was established in 1981. It includes the central and north-east parts of the Gorce Range (it covers over 7 thousand hectares). The Carpathian forest is the most important treasure in the GNP. It is only slightly affected by human activities in the past. The highest elevations are occupied by sub-alpine spruce forests. The forest dynamics is mostly of natural character – trees get old then die giving place for new generations of woody vegetation. There's a quest (treasure hunt) available in the location.
