This article analyses the characteristics of paraglacial environment that are recorded in sediments and forms, within the context of the development of views on the relief of Central Poland in the area beyond the extent of the Vistulian (Weichselian) Glaciation. The original relief of the analysed area was formed during the Warta Glaciation (Wartanian, Late Saalian). Until the 1950s, the relief was considered as glacial, when the opinion that periglacial morphogenesis had great significance was prevalent. According to the hypothesis, periglacial processes dominated the original glacial relief, until denudational periglacial plains with tors were formed. However, since the 1960s, more and more data have been documented concerning good preservation of fragments of glacial landscape, particularly within the range of kame fields. In the 1990s, a concept of polygenesis of the relief was presented, stressing the importance of periglacial environment. However, it must be noted that all views on the genesis of the area that have been presented so far still have a gap in the light of contemporary interpretation of the concept of periglacial environment. There is a need to take into account the so-called paraglacial environment, which has hardly been distinguished until now in areas of Pleistocene glaciation. According to present knowledge, the relief of the Warta belt in Central Poland should be recognised as polygenic with predominant features of old glacial relief and with elements of paraglacial, periglacial and fluvio-denudational relief from moderate periods.
