The Beskid Zywiecki mountains. The peak of Babia Gora (1725 m) and the mountain chalet at Markowe Szczawiny are the major crossroads to fair tourist traffic in the Park. Babia Gora is famous for its view, which, according to many opinions, has no equal in the whole of Poland. On a sunny day, all of the surrounding ranges and valleys, both in Poland and Slovakia, may be clearly seen.
Babia Gora Range is part of The Great Continental Divide, separating the waters running to the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. It is also the range dividing two ethnic regions. To the north live the Zywiec Beskid Mountaineers, while the region south of the Babia Gora is inhabited by Orawians. At the southern foreland of this mountain, an interesting Etnographic Park of Orawian Culture is located in Zubrzyca Gorna.
