Puławy, Podkarpackie Voivodeship, Mountain village in Krosno County, Poland.
Puławy is a mountain village in Krosno County that extends along the Wisłok River and consists of two sections: Puławy Dolne in the lower area and Puławy Górne on the higher ground. The settlement sits near Kiczera Hill, which shapes the landscape of the region.
The village was established in 1572 under Wallachian law, a legal system common in the Carpathian region during that era. Residents were craftspeople and metalworkers who processed iron ore in local smithies.
The former Greek Catholic church built in 1831 reflects the religious traditions of the Lemko people who lived in this region and maintained their distinctive faith practices.
The village is accessible by local roads connected to Rymanów to the north, which offers good entry points for visitors. Krosno, the largest nearby city to the northwest, serves as an important reference point for travelers arriving from the wider region.
A ski resort sits on Kiczera Hill and draws both locals and visitors during winter months. This winter sports facility stands out as an unexpected modern amenity in an otherwise rural setting.
