Gmina Wieprz

Gmina Wieprz is a rural municipality in southern Poland comprising several villages including Frydrychowice, Gierałtowice, and Nidek. The area is characterized by farmland, scattered settlements, and gently rolling terrain across its territory.

The municipality was established as an administrative unit in Lesser Poland Voivodeship to serve rural communities west of Wadowice. It developed to provide governance and coordination for settlements scattered across this agricultural region.

Agriculture remains central to how people here shape their daily lives and community identity. Farming traditions and rural village structures form the backbone of life across these settlements.

The municipality lies roughly 50 kilometers southwest of Kraków and is accessible by regional roads. Most services and administrative facilities are based in village centers, reflecting its rural character.

The terrain varies in elevation across the area, creating different conditions for farming and land use. This variation means that different parts of the municipality have distinct agricultural characteristics and growing possibilities.
