Nowy Targ County

Nowy Targ County is an administrative district in southern Lesser Poland Voivodeship along the Slovak border. The area contains mountain ranges, forests, rivers, and lakes spread across varied terrain.

The county was established in 1999 during Poland's administrative reform that reorganized territorial divisions. This change created the district's current structure with Nowy Targ as its main center.

The region preserves mountain traditions through wooden architecture and local crafts that remain visible in villages and towns. These traditions shape how homes and public spaces look throughout the area.

The area offers hiking trails, winter sports facilities, and natural mineral springs for visitors. The terrain varies greatly depending on location, so plan your activities based on which part you wish to explore.

The county contains extensive peat bogs and marshlands in parts of the region alongside limestone mountain formations. This geological mix creates diverse natural environments within the same area.
