- Magura ridge and summits — A rolling, forested ridgeline that gives you long, low-mountain panoramas without the crowds. Trails are straightforward but varied, perfect for a day hike that rewards you with open viewpoints and classic Beskid skyline scenes.
- Flower-rich mountain meadows (poloniny) — In summer the grassy clearings along the ridges explode with wildflowers and butterflies. They’re remnants of old shepherding pastures and make for excellent picnic spots and easy, scenic walking.
- Ancient beech and mixed forests — Big, quiet stands of beech, spruce and fir that feel primeval. These woods host rich understory life, mosses and lichens — great if you like quiet forest walks and mushroom or bird-spotting.

- Peat bogs and wetland pockets — Small, surprisingly atmospheric bogs dot the park and support plants you won’t see on dry slopes. They’re little biodiversity hotspots and fun to visit with a good guide or a careful eye.
- Deep river valleys and streams — Steep-sided valleys with clear mountain streams, riffles and scattered rock outcrops. These corridors are scenic, cooler on hot days, and excellent for listening to birds and watching animal tracks.
- Wildlife watching: deer, boar, wolves and lynx sign — You’ll see more tracks and dawn/dusk movement than animals in daylight, but the park is an important corridor for large mammals and birds of prey. Bring binoculars and patience.
- Traditional wooden villages and cultural edges — The park is threaded with old hamlets, roadside wooden chapels and traces of pastoral culture. They give a human-scale contrast to the wild landscape and are worth a slow wander between hikes.
