POLAND ~ Gorce National Park ~

... Lovely nature view of a forest-covered area in the Carpathian Mountains with many over 100 years old trees.... created  to protect the beauty of landscape and wildlife in Gorce Mountains... known for its lush forests, rolling hills, and crystal-clear lakes... making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts... visitors can explore well-marked trails that wind through dense woodlands and glades which offer magnificent panoramic views to the nearby mountain ranges of the Tatra, Pieniny and Beskidy Mountains from various lookout points... since its designation the Gorce National Park has adopted the fire salamander as its emblem, representing the only native salamander in Poland... (shown on the postcard👍) Thanks a lot Daria!【ツ】
