Gmina Jaśliska

Gmina Jasliska is a rural municipality in southeastern Poland near the Slovak border, spread across hilly terrain that encompasses several small villages. The area is defined by agricultural land, forests, and settlements where farming shapes the landscape and local economy.

The territory became an independent municipality in 2010 after separating from an adjacent administrative area, with roots in a longer history of local governance. During the late 20th century, the area served multiple times as a local administrative center for the wider region.

The area maintains a rural way of life deeply connected to farming and local traditions that shape how people move through the villages and surrounding countryside. Visitors can observe this lifestyle in the daily routines and seasonal rhythms that define the communities here.

The area is sparsely populated with scattered villages connected by rural roads that are best explored with your own transportation. Visitors should allow extra time when exploring since settlements are small and spread far apart.

The area contains a protected landscape park with forests and natural spaces that offer walking trails through largely undeveloped countryside. The region also served as a filming location for an internationally recognized film, bringing attention beyond its local boundaries.
