Zielone Skałki (The Green Rocks) is a range of limestone formations in the Pieniny Spiskie Mountains with a unique landscape in the form of steep rocks overgrown with forest stretching between the Czorsztyńskie Reservoir and the main ridge of these mountains. Most of the area of the rocks is strictly protected and included in the Pieniny National Park. Despite the protection, in the 1990s, after filling the Czorsztyńskie Reservoir with water, the foot of Zielone Skał were flooded and now the eastern part forms a peninsula on the reservoir.
