| | Karkonoski National Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | The northern part of the Karkonosze, the highest part of the Sudeten massif, is under protection as the Karkonoski National Park, with an area of 5,579 ha. |
 | | The topography of the Park is exceptionally diverse and entails lakes in post-glacial depressions, steep cliffs, lively streams forming numerous cascades and waterfalls, and sub-crown plateaux. |
 | | Despite the extensive human exploitation of the Karkonosze wildlife and forests since the 15th century, many ecosystems, especially those mountaineous ones, have retained their natural character. |
