- Opis:
- The castle ruins in Melsztyn are situated in the Dunajec River valley between Tarnów and Zakliczyn. The castle hill holds a rich malacofauna. The presence of numerous open-country, calciphile forms is a unique feature of this assemblage. Its composition and structure seem to be directly related to anthropogenic environmental changes caused by the construction and maintenance of the castle. The fauna from Melsztyn includes many species which are very rare in the Beskidy Mountains, such as Helicella obvia, Cochlicopa lubricella, Euomphalia strigella and, particularly, Truncatellina cylindrica, which is the dominant component of the assemblage. These species seem to be anthropogenic immigrants. The Melsztyn castle ruins, like other castle remnants in the Beskidy Mts, constitute a refugium for terrestrial faunas, especially calciphilous, open-country species. The environmental, scenic and historical value of the castle hill fully entitles the site to be classified as a legally protected nature-landscape complex.
