Proszowice County

Proszowice County is a district in Lesser Poland Voivodeship made up of six municipalities spread across about 400 square kilometers. The area lies south of Kraków and is shaped by rivers that connect its settlements.

The county was created in 1999 through Polish administrative reforms, but its roots go back to the 16th century when the area belonged to Kraków Voivodeship. This long connection still shapes regional identity today.

The area is shaped by farming and village life that defines how people spend their days. Visitors notice small farms and fields everywhere, which give the region its distinctive look.

The area lies about 30 kilometers northeast of Kraków and is easy to reach by regional roads. Most visitors drive through the different municipalities to explore villages and countryside.

The Szreniawa River flows through the area and has shaped where settlements developed for centuries. Along this river, small villages grew up and still show the traditional face of the region today.
