Dobczyce, Medieval town in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

The town stretches along the Raba River valley between Wisnickie and Wielickie Hills, containing fortification remnants and a reconstructed castle from medieval times.

Dobczyce received municipal rights in 1310 during the reign of Władysław Łokietek, establishing it as a significant settlement on the trade route between Krakow and Hungary.

The Regional Museum in Dobczyce exhibits traditional crafts, agricultural tools, and household items that represent the daily life of past local communities.

The town maintains a network of marked cycling paths extending 39 kilometers through varied terrain, connecting major landmarks and natural areas.

Lake Dobczyce, formed by damming the Raba River, serves as the primary water reservoir for Krakow while creating a distinctive landscape around the town.
