The Dunajec River Gorge (Polish: Przełom Dunajca; Slovak: Prielom Dunajca) runs through the Pieniny Mountains (a section of Western Berkids) in the south of Poland and the north of Slovakia (as Dunajec is the border river between the two countries in the area). The gorge is located within the Pieniny National Park and is characterized by some of the most interesting geological and geomorphological structures and area-specific natural ecosystems with little anthropogenic influence.
