Kamienica is a river in the Gorce Mountains, partly on the border with the Beskids, the left tributary of the Dunajec River. It squeezes through a deep valley between the slopes of Mostownica and Jaworzyna Kamienicka, flowing through a ravine 8-12 m deep. In the vicinity of the Borek Pass it bends sharply to the east, causing strong erosion of the slopes of this pass. This is an attractive tourist area. In its upper reaches (to Rivers) it flows within the boundaries of the Gorce National Park. Marked here, through the valley of Kamienica blue trail to Borek pass.

Waterfall
A waterfall is any point in a river or stream where water flows over a vertical drop or a series of steep drops. Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf. Waterfalls can be formed in several ways, but the most common method of formation is that a river courses over a top layer of resistant bedrock before falling onto softer rock, which erodes faster, leading to an increasingly high fall. Waterfalls have been studied for their impact on species living in and around them. Humans have had a distinct relationship with waterfalls since prehistory, travelling to see them, exploring and naming them. They can present formidable barriers to navigation along rivers. Waterfalls are religious sites in many cultures. Since the 18th century, they have received increased attention as tourist destinations, sources of hydropower, andparticularly since the mid-20th centuryas subjects of research.

Plunge Pool
A plunge pool (or plunge basin or waterfall lake) is a deep depression in a stream bed at the base of a waterfall or Shut-in (river), shut-in. It is created by the erosion, erosional forces of cascading water on the rocks at the formation's base where the water impacts.Marshak, Stephen, 2009, ''Essentials of Geology,'' W. W. Norton & Company, 3rd ed. The term may refer to the water occupying the depression, or the depression itself. Formation Plunge pools are formed by the natural force of falling water, such as at a waterfall or cascade; they also result from man-made structures such as some spillway designs. Plunge pools are often very deep, generally related to the height of the fall, the volume of water, the resistance of the rock below the pool and other factors. The impacting and swirling water, sometimes carrying rocks within it, Abrasion (geology), abrades the riverbed into a basin, which often features rough and irregular sides. Plunge pools can remain long after t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
