Its picturesque character is mainly due to the deep ravines dividing the Roztocze mountain slopes and the Wieprz and Tanew rivers winding across the mountains.

Forests, mainly beech and fir, cover 93 percent of the park’s territory. The rich flora includes lowland and highland species, as well as steno thermal species from South Eastern Europe.

The Roztoczański National Park lays claim to 190 species of birds - potted eagle, osprey, white-tailed eagle, buzzard, goshawk, sparrow, hawk, kestrel, wood grouse and grey-headed and black woodpecker, as well as aquatic birds - coot grebe, moorhen, duck, black stork, and white-backed crane.

The Park is also home to the Tarpan, the Polish breed of a miniature horse.
