Abstract: The Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB), which is situated in Southern Poland, is one of the main fault zones on the boundary of the Outer and Inner Carpathians. The geodynamic investigations which have been carried out since 1960s indicate that PKB demonstrates neo-tectonic activity. In 1990s, the Dunajec river dam and the water reservoirs in Czorsztyn and Sromowce Wyzne have been built. This has created a new aspect in investigations related to the effect of tectonic movements on the dam. In 2001, after few years break, the investigations were revived. Current the measurements are performed annually, in the beginning of September and contain GNSS and gravimetric measurements. The results of horizontal displacement in the PKB area based on GNSS measurements as well as gravity changes obtained from absolute measurements in 2004-2015 are presented and discussed in this paper.
