How is the landscape classified at the municipal level?

A catchment area is the area from which water flows into a river and its river system. Together with the municipality’s location in the Wiśnicko-Lipnicki Landscape Park, this provides an overview of its landscape setting without reducing the individual localities to a single landscape region.
