Goniądz, Municipality in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland
Goniądz sits on a slope overlooking the Biebrza River valley in northeastern Poland, positioned roughly 5 kilometers east of Biebrzanski National Park's main office. The town overlooks lowlands and wetland areas that stretch across the surrounding landscape.
The first written record of Goniądz dates to 1358, and it gained city rights in 1547 because of its importance as a trading post. This early recognition shows how commerce shaped the settlement's development in the region.
The Jewish cemetery holds six grotto-style tombstones that mark the resting place of community members from past generations. Walking through this site offers insight into the religious and family traditions that once defined local life.
The town offers several types of lodging, from private rooms to a larger hotel, making it easy to find a place to stay. Direct bus services connect the area to major Polish cities for straightforward travel planning.
The surrounding marshes and peat bogs of the Biebrza River form rare ecosystems that draw nature researchers and observers year-round. These wetland areas support plant and animal species found nowhere else in the nearby region.
