Jaworki, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Mountain village in Lesser Poland, Poland
Jaworki is a mountain settlement nestled at the base of the Carpathian foothills, with two streams flowing through its terrain. The landscape is shaped by these natural waterways, which create the geographical character of the area.
The village became an independent administrative unit in 2008, separating from its parent municipality. This change reshaped local governance and how the community manages its affairs.
The settlement marks the western edge of traditional Lemko territory, a distinct Carpathian region with its own cultural identity. Local traditions reflect connections across Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine that remain visible in daily life.
The area is well connected by regional roads that provide access to mountain trails and natural attractions. Visitors should prepare for hilly terrain and bring appropriate gear for outdoor activities.
The two streams are named after their water color, one called White Water and the other Black Water. These descriptive names reflect how locals historically observed the different hues of water flowing through the landscape.
