The commune of Bukowina Tatrzańska spreads over a substantial area of the High Tatras which makes it an unquestionable leader, on the map of communes of the entire Poland, in the number of records held in various fields and an absolute phenomenon with regard to their originality.

And so, the following can be found in the commune:

  • The largest difference of levels – between the highest (Rysy) and the lowest (the River Białka) point there are 2000 meters.
