The Orava-Nowy Targ Basin (Polish: Kotlina Orawsko-Nowotarska) is the northern, lowest part of the Podhale-Magura Area, between the Western Beskids in the north and the Spisko-Gubałowski Highlands in the south.
The boundaries are as follows.[1]
- to the west, along the foothills of the Slovak Orava Beskids, slightly to the west of the Orava reservoir
- to the north, the basin borders on the Działy Orawskie, the Beskid Orawsko-Podhalański and the Gorce Mountains. The border runs on the northern side of the Orava reservoir, through the Czarna Orawa valley, Piekielnik (a tributary of Czarna Orawa), along the foot of the hills of the Działy Orawskie to Nowy Targ, from here through the Dunajec valley to the Lake Czorsztyn, which is located within the Nowy Targ Basin.
- eastern border: a dam on the Lake Czorsztyn
- from the south, the valley borders with the Pieniny Mountains, Pogórze Bukowińskie and Pogórze Gubałowskie. The border runs along the southern banks of the Lake Czorsztyn to the western end of Zielone Skałki, from here along the northern foothills of the Pieniny Spiskie and Skalice Nowotarskie (from Obłazowa through Cisowa Skała and Ranisberg), further up, initially along the Wielki Rogoźnik stream, then along the north-western foothills of the Pogórze Gubałowskie on eastern side of the Czarny Dunajec to Koniówka.[2] In Slovakia, the border runs along the Orava valley and the foothills of the Pogórze Skoruszyńskie.
