    The Żywiec Landscape Park established in 1986 is located in the western part of the High Beskid. Its area amounts to 350 870 ha and reaches south of the state border with Slovakia. In the north side park is surrounded by a protective zone covering 21 790 ha. The Żywiec Landscape Park was the first such protected area in the Polish Carpathians. The Żywiec Landscape Park spreads over the Magura Nappe consisting of the facies-tectonic units. It comprises flysch sediments of Late Cretaceous-Oligocene age. A considerable part of the parks occupies the lower mountain forest zone. In the Żywiec Landscape Park we can find 9 forest reserves with a total area about 417,64 ha. Only one waterfall and two caves belong to monuments of inanimate nature. To supplement the quantitative and objective state of nature conservation preliminary inventory of natural sites from the point of view at their different biotic and abiotic values was made. As a result of that work there exist project of eight reservations, three arable land, twelve monuments of inanimate nature and six objects of inanimate nature. First of all, two groups of objects have been take into account: 1- landslide from with rocky niches, ridge top trenches and block fields, 2- waterfalls accompanied by rocky stream channels.
