Tips

In 1997, a great flood came in this place. The great water took away the sand and gravel, and the black shales of Wierzów appeared to the eyes of people. By the way, several beautiful waterfalls and several places with deeper and not too rushing water were created. In such peaceful places you can take a bath on hot summer days. On the shore, you can enjoy the view of the waterfalls and listen to the sound of the water

130 million years ago, where the Beskid Mały is now located, there was a very deep sea. Sediments form in the sea and sink to the bottom. At this point, there was no oxygen in the bottom layers and organic life was very poor, so the sediment is almost black in color. This very interesting geological structure stretches for almost two hundred meters
