Niepołomice Forest

Poland

Niepołomice Forest (Puszcza Niepołomicka) is a large forest complex in western part of Sandomierz Basin, about 20 km (12 mi) east of Kraków (center). It is made up of a few protected areas which used to constitute a single virgin forest originally. Niepołomice Forest occupies an area between Vistula and Raba rivers. The main complex covers about 110 km2 (42 sq mi). It is situated between the towns of Niepołomice, Baczków, Krzyżanowice and Mikluszowice. The name Niepołomice derives from the Old Polish language word niepołomny which meant "impassable", or "impossible to destroy" or conquer.
