It's also home to the Świętokrzyski National Park in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains (with highest peak being Łysica - 612 m). It takes 3 lands: Świętokrzyskie Mountains, Ponidzie and Sandomierska Upland. The Świętokrzyskie Mountains are one of the oldest in Europe, and have vast fields of rock scree, which are the most imposing curiosites in Poland.
