Abstract Abstract. Numerical modeling is an important tool to estimate slope stability. This publication shows application of a GEO 5 - slope stability software to evaluate stability of the “Łaski” Landslide in Międzybrodzie Bialskie. The slide surfaces, which were indentified in drill cores, were used to compute factors of safety (FS). The data from inclinometric measurements were used to verify the numerical model of the landslide. Calculations were carried out for three scenarios: first with normal water level, second scenario with lowered water level of 5 m and 10 m and the third scenario without water with the worst courses of sliding surfaces. As the result for each scenario the factors of safety were estimated. It was found that despite of water lowering and stabilization of existed surfaces, there is a considerable risk of a new sliding surfaces occurrence.
