Gorlice Sights

  1. Magura National Park

    While the town is not the main gateway to the 200-sq-km Magura National Park - that honour goes to Krempna, 44km to the southeast - it is easily accessible from here via Sękowa. The tourist office distributes a useful pack of brochures on the park and its flora, fauna and cultural heritage.
