Archaeologists discovered the world's oldest boomerang, carved from mammoth tusk, inside the Obłazowa Cave.
The location was used as a filming site for the classic Polish movie 'Janosik'.
Kramnica and Obłazowa, the two main peaks, are geologically distinct from the surrounding flysch rocks of the Podhale region.
The Białka River is known for its high water clarity and low temperatures even during summer months.
The reserve protects endemic flora, including species specific to limestone canyon environments.
Przełom Białki is a limestone nature reserve carved by the Białka River, situated between the Kramnica and Obłazowa mountains. The river creates a narrow canyon that serves as a popular destination for cold-water swimming and recreational rock climbing. The Obłazowa cave, located within the rock wall, is a significant site for archaeological discoveries, including prehistoric artifacts. The site acts as a border between the Pieniny and Podhale regions. The riverbed is characterized by large, smooth limestone boulders and clear, fast-flowing water. It is a legally protected area under Polish law, requiring visitors to stay on marked trails. The site remains largely undeveloped with no significant artificial infrastructure.

Bring water shoes, as the riverbed consists of slippery, uneven stones.
Pack a windbreaker, as the canyon creates a natural wind tunnel that can be significantly cooler than the surrounding fields.
There are no waste bins on-site; plan to carry all trash back out with you.
Do not attempt to cross the river during high water levels following heavy rain, as the currents become dangerously strong.
Respect the 'Leave No Trace' principle; noise pollution should be minimized to protect local wildlife.
