The Pieniny National Park on the Slovak side borders with the Polish national park of the same name. To distinguish them, the Slovak abbreviation PIENAP is often used. It includes the Golica Group belonging to the Pieniny Proper and the southern part of the Little Pieniny. On its territory there is a part of the so-called Pienińska Road connecting Szczawnica with Czerwony Klasztor.
