Nida Landscape Park (Nadnidziański Park Krajobrazowy) is a Polish Landscape Park designated protected area, located in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship of south-central Poland. Within the Solec Basin, gypsum outcrops are common, forming rocky cliffs. Examples of karst formations include numerous caves, ponors, wywierzyski, karst lakes and rock gates. They are found in the vicinity of Gacek, Wiślica and Busk-Zdrój. There are karst gullies in Gorysławice. The karst forms found in Nadnidziański Park are unique in the country. Among the most valuable are large-crystalline (glassy) gypsums. The crystals of which they are composed reach a length of 3.5 meters.[1]
