Klejowa
Facts and practical information
Klejowa Góra - an outstanding, mountainous peninsula in the Three Crowns Massif in the Pieniny Proper. Together with Lysina it forms the so-called Lysina Group, which is flanked on three sides by the Dunajec River, which creates here the largest of its gorges, called the Dunajec Gorges. Klejowa Góra rises in the southern direction from Facimiech. It is overgrown with forest, but in the past there used to be clearings that have been overgrown with forest since the establishment of the Pieniny National Park and the cessation of their mowing. Only along the bank of the Dunajec river there are remnants of the Rówienki clearing, where formerly there was a lone farm. Below it there was a clearing called Zimna, which was mowed and hay was transported to the other side of the Dunajec river to Sromowce Niżne only in winter by sleigh on the ice. On the northern tip of Klejowa Góra there is an overgrown Facimiech glade, which gave its name to this impressive-looking peak - a rocky cliff undercut by the waters of the Dunajec River.
On the south-western slopes grows a typical fir forest, with mighty firs about 150 years old. A great attraction of nature is one of the last stands of Savina juniper in Poland. There are 6 of them on Facimiech and Klejowa Góra. From the plants that are rare in Poland, there still grows here the medium-sized tawula.
It is not available for tourists. The whole area is one of the wilder and more inaccessible corners of Pieniny, where nature has its own rules.
