Bochotnica, Medieval village in Puławy County, Poland

The village extends along the right bank of the Vistula River within the Nałęczowski Plateau, where the Bystra River flows into the main watercourse.

The settlement functioned as a defensive stronghold in the 6th century, with archaeological discoveries revealing a pagan cemetery, tools, and a 10th-century sword.

The village contains numerous stone caves within the Pożaryski Wall formation, displaying geological layers marking the boundary between Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras.

Regular ferry service connects Bochotnica with Janowiec across the Vistula River, providing transportation for residents and visitors between both riverbanks.

The ruins of a rectangular 14th-century castle stand upon a hill, linked to tales of King Kazimierz and a woman named Esterka.
