picture info	Central Beskids Of The Outer Western Carpathians Central section of the Western Beskids (; ; ) are a set of mountain ranges spanning the southern Polish and northern Slovak border. They constitute a section of the Western Beskids, within the Outer Western Carpathians. In geographic classification, the term '' Beskid Mountains'' has several definitions, related to distinctive historical and linguistic traditions. Depending on a particular classification, designation ''Central'' in relation to the Beskids is also used with different meanings. In Slovak terminology, the term ''Central Beskids'' () is used to designate this section of the Beskid Mountains within the Outer Western Carpathians. In Polish terminology, the same region is also classified as the central section of the Western Beskids, but not under the term ''Central Beskids'' (), since that term is used to designate Lower Beskids of the Outer Eastern Carpathians.

picture info	Outer Western Carpathians Divisions of the Carpathians are a categorization of the Carpathian mountains system. Below is a detailed overview of the major subdivisions and ranges of the Carpathian Mountains. The Carpathians are a "subsystem" of a bigger Alps-Himalaya System that stretches from western Europe all the way to southern Asia, and are further divided into "provinces" and "subprovinces". The last level of the division, i.e. the actual mountain ranges and basins, is usually classified as "units". The main divisions are shown in the map on the right. To generalize, there are three major provinces (regions): Western Carpathians, Eastern Carpathians, and the Southern Carpathians. Naming conventions The division is largely (with many exceptions) undisputed at the lowest level (except for the Ukrainian part), but various divisions are given for the higher levels, especially for the penultimate level. A geomorphological division has been used as much as the data was available; other new physioge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Babia Góra Babia Góra (in Polish), or Babia hora (in Slovak) is a massif situated on the border between Poland and Slovakia in the Western Beskid Mountains. The name is also applied to the culmination of the massif, Diablak ("Devil's Peak"), which is also the highest peak of this part of the Carpathian Mountains, at above sea level. History The first historical mentions of the massif date back to the 15th century, when it first mentioned in the writings of Jan Długosz. It was only in the 19th century that the area was explored and chronicled in greater depth, with the first known mountain hut constructed in 1905. Nature Gentle from the south, steep from the north, Babia Góra is home to bear, lynx, wolf and other species; as well as alpine flora endemic at this altitude.
