Podhale, Valley region in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

The Podhale region extends across the foothills of the Tatra Mountains, forming a natural basin along the Dunajec River with dense forests and meadows.

The settlement patterns of Podhale developed through migrations from Lesser Poland and Wallachian populations between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries.

The inhabitants of Podhale maintain their own dialect, traditional clothing, music, and produce specific cheese varieties from sheep and cow milk.

Winter attracts visitors to numerous ski slopes while summer provides opportunities for mountain hiking and exploring the valleys of Tatra National Park.

The town of Nowy Targ serves as the capital of Podhale, positioned beneath the Gorce Mountains at the intersection of Black and White Dunajec rivers.
