Poronin, Mountain village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Located at an elevation of 740 meters, Poronin sits between Zakopianka and Poroniec rivers, creating the source of the Biały Dunajec river.
During World War I in 1914, Austrian authorities arrested Vladimir Lenin in Poronin on suspicion of espionage before deporting him to Switzerland.
The village maintains strong connections to Podhale traditions, featuring regular performances by the local Song and Dance ensemble Harnasie during summer festivals.
Poronin connects to major cities through railway line and road 47, offering direct transportation to Kraków and the Polish-Slovak border crossing.
From 1947 to 1990, the village displayed a Lenin statue and operated a museum dedicated to his local residence before transferring it to Lublin Voivodeship.
