  • E X C U R S I O N I a (19. IX. 1963) the Excursion Was Devoted to The
    GUIDE TO THE GEOLOGICAL EXCURSIONS OF THE XXXVI ANNUAL MEETING OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF POLAND, PIEN17NY MOUNTAINS, 1963 by Krzysztof Birkenmajer, Kazimierz Bogacz, Stefan Kozłowski and Stanisław Węcławik Excursion I A (19. IX. 1963) The excursion was devoted to the hydrogeological, geochemical and balneotechnical (as well as balneotherapeutical) problems of mineral waters of Szczawnica. Excursion IB (19. IX. 1963) During the excursion were shown outcrops of andesite dykes of Mt. Bryjarka at Szczawnica, as well as Quaternary terraces of the Grajcarek stream valley. Excursion IC (19. IX. 1963) The members of the excursion visited a clay pit at Krościenko, which exposes Pliocene clays and’ gravels with abundant and well preserved plant remains (references: Szafer 1946-7, 1950, 1954; K l i m a s ze w- s k i 1948; Birkenma j e r 1954a, 1958a). Excursions II A (20. IX) and III A (21. IX. 1963) The programme of the excursions included outcrops of the Podhale — 413 — Palaeogene (flysch) near the southern contact of the Pieniny Klippen Belt at Szaflary, stratigraphy and tectonics of the Pieniny-, Branisko-, and Czorsztyn Series, as well as the problem of the relation of the Upper Senonian Mantle (Jarmuta Beds) to the Klippen Series between the villa­ ge Szaflary and the Szaflary quarry. Later on, at Krempachy, has been demonstrated a section of the Pieniny Klippen Belt including strongly disturbed tectonically klippes of the Czorsztyn Series, as well as Dogger-, Middle and Upper Cretaceous members of the northern zone of the Klippen Belt, referred now to the Magura Series. Similar problems were also discussed at Dursztyn, where -the excursion had finished.

  • Neotectonics of the Polish Carpathians in the Light of Geomorphic Studies: a State of the Art
    Acta Geodyn. Geomater., Vol. 6, No. 3 (155), 291-308, 2009 NEOTECTONICS OF THE POLISH CARPATHIANS IN THE LIGHT OF GEOMORPHIC STUDIES: A STATE OF THE ART Witold ZUCHIEWICZ Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, A. Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Kraków, Poland *Corresponding author‘s e-mail: [email protected] (Received January 2009, accepted March 2009) ABSTRACT Neotectonics of the Carpathians used to be studied extensively, particular attention being paid to the effects of large-scale domal uplifts and open folding above marginal zones of thrusts and imbricated map-scale folds, and rarely to the characteristics of young faulting. Neotectonic faults tend to be associated with the margins of the Orava-Nowy Targ Basin, superposed on the boundary between the Inner and Outer Western Carpathians, as well as with some regions within the Outer Carpathians. The size of Quaternary tilting of the Tatra Mts. on the sub-Tatric fault were estimated at 100 to 300 m, and recent vertical crustal movements of this area detected by repeated precise levelling are in the range of 0.4-1.0 mm/yr in rate. Minor vertical block movements of oscillatory character (0.5-1 mm/yr) were detected along faults cutting the Pieniny Klippen Belt owing to repeated geodetic measurements performed on the Pieniny geodynamic test area. In the western part of the Western Outer Carpathians, middle and late Pleistocene reactivation of early Neogene thrust surfaces was suggested. Differentiated mobility of reactivated as normal Miocene faults (oriented (N-S to NNW-SSE and NNE-SSW) in the medial portion of the Dunajec River drainage basin appears to be indicated by the results of long-profile analyses of deformed straths, usually of early and middle Pleistocene age.

  • Selected Geosites Within a Proposed New Trans-Border Pieniny Geopark (Polish-Slovakian)
    Acta Geoturistica volume 5 (2014), number 2, 46-63 Selected geosites within a proposed new trans-border Pieniny Geopark (Polish-Slovakian) JAN GOLONKA, MAREK DOKTOR, KRZYSZTOF MIŚKIEWICZ, MICHAŁ KROBICKI, and TADEUSZ SŁOMKA Department of General Geology and Geotourism Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, A.Mickiewicza 30 Ave., 30-059 Kraków, Poland (Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Only one geopark in Poland is on UNESCO list – Muskau Arc Geopark but one of the first propositions was very interesting cross-border Polish-Slovakia geopark Pieniny. The proposed geopark includes the central, most interesting part of the Pieniny Klippen Belt and the adjacent areas of the Central Carpathian Paleogene and Western Flysch Carpathians. The specificity of the Pieniny Klippen Belt is that it is a unique area with a complex geological structure resulting from its multi-stage history. The geopark’s core belongs to the Polish Pieniny National Park (Pieniński Park Narodowy) and its Slovak equivalent the Pieninský Narodný Park. The primary task in the framework of Geopark project will be an inventory and valorization of geosites. The authors attempt to provide the review of the most important and significant geotouristic attraction within the proposed. The selected objects include The Rogoźnik Rock, the Białka River water gap at Krempachy, Snozka Pass, Wżar Mountain, the Czorsztyn Castle, the Red Monastery (Červený Kláštor - Czerwony Klasztor), the Dunajec River Gorge, Szczawnica, the Zaskalnik Waterfall, and the Homole Gorge. Key words: Pieniny Mts., geotourism, geological inventory and valorization, geosites INTRODUCTION of the first propositions was cross-border Polish-Slovakia geopark Pieniny.

This paper attempts to diagnose the causes and effects of spatial chaos in this area, using the DPSIR method. The Three Questions method was used to assist in analysing the effects of disorder in the context of violating sustainable development. The analysis demonstrated that the causes of spatial disorder were mainly of legal and historical origins, with the most visible effects of this chaos being those related to the dispersion of buildings. Minimising spatial chaos requires extensive education, as well as amending legislation to limit the scope of decisions on development conditions. A national financial mechanism supporting the development of the Carpathians would also seem to be a desirable improvement. Key words: Carpathian Convention, DPSIR, mountainous landscape, rural landscape, spatial chaos, spatial planning, 'Three Questions' method Abstakt: Górskie obszary wiejskie są wrażliwe na niewłaściwe zagospodarowanie przestrzenne.

  • The Influence of the Deep Seated Geological Structures on the Landscape Morphology of the Dunajec River Catchment Area, Central Carpathians, Poland and Slovakia
    Contemp.Trends.Geosci., 7(1),2018,21-47 DOI: 10.2478/ctg-2018-0002 The influence of the deep seated geological structures on the landscape morphology of the Dunajec River catchment area, Central Carpathians, Poland and Slovakia Bartosz Wołosiewicz Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environment Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, Al. Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Kraków, Poland * corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 10th April, 2017 Accepted: 28th February, 2018 Abstract The area of the Dunajec river basin includes several geological units in the Central Carpathian region at the Polish-Slovakian borderland. The paper focuses on the geomorphometric parameters of the drainage system to recognize the influence of the deep seated geological structures on the morphology of the Dunajec river basin (Central Carpathians). The study were enriched with analysis of the geological maps and lineaments extracted from Digital Elevation Model. According to the obtained results, the massive NW-SE trending fault zones play a vital role in the geological architecture of the researched area. The development of the secondary fault structures has been determined by these dislocations and the manifestation of their activity can be observed as deformations of some of the other tectonic structures along the main fault zones, especially at the folds’ axes. Additionally, the geometric and morphometric features of the drainage system have also been influenced by the activity of these deep structures. The tectonic activity represented by the level of morphological rejuvenation, visible in the light of the morphometric parameters of the streams and the drainage basins, varies greatly between the tectonic units.

  • By Bike Through the Pearls of the South

Day 1: Krakow and its surroundings. Arrival in Krakow. Meeting with the guide and start with a "warm-up" tour of Krakow by bike - we go to the center, then a trip to Tyniec along the Vistula River. The route runs along a specially prepared bicycle route, running along the Vistula flood embankments. An unquestionable advantage of this path is its attractive location. On one side, we are constantly accompanied by a beautiful view of the Wolski Forest and the Monastery of oo. Camaldolese and the Faculty of Polish Studies of the Jagiellonian University, on the other, you can see the towns of Bodzów and Kostrze near Krakow. Visit to the monastery. Return to Krakow for the night. Dinner at the hotel or in a traditional restaurant. Day 2 - Krakow - Ojców - Prądnik Valley - Pieskowa Skała and Kluczwody Valley - Krakow. Breakfast at the hotel. On this day, we will admire the beauty of the nature of Dolinki Podkrakowskie. These are very attractive areas for cyclists. On this day, we will get to know the Ojców National Park - the smallest National Park in Poland. The route has several steep climbs, but the beautiful views compensate for these difficulties in 100%. For the less advanced, I recommend only the upper section of the map, starting from the Prądnik Valley, then left along the yellow trail to Poręba, Sąspów (there we are a bit uphill), then a descent towards Pieskowa Skała, a view of the castle, Mace of Hercules and return to Ojców.
