Gorce is a mountain range belonging to the Western Beskids, located between Beskid Sądecki and Beskid Żywiecki, directly north of the Tatra Mountains (thanks to that, Gorce is famous for its beautiful views of snowy peaks). The area is surrounded by well-known tourist destinations such as Nowy Targ, Mszana Dolna, Rabka Zdrój and Krościenko nad Dunajcem. Before heading to Gorce, it is worth considering not only visiting the more popular peaks such as Turbacz, but also the lesser-known peaks - not some of which, such as Magurki, are equipped with interesting attractions such as viewing towers.
