Poręba Wielka, Mountain village in Limanowa County, Poland
Located at the foothills of the Gorce Mountains, Poręba Wielka extends across a valley surrounded by dense forests and agricultural lands at 49.6 degrees north latitude.
The village settlement patterns evolved through centuries of agricultural development, leading to its current status as part of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship administrative region.
The village maintains its connection to Polish rural traditions through regular agricultural festivals and serves as the birthplace of notable writer Władysław Orkan.
Visitors can access the village via local roads connecting to Niedźwiedź, located 8 kilometers east, or reach Kraków, situated 51 kilometers to the north.
The 2022 opening of Termy Gorce facility utilizes natural thermal waters discovered in the 1970s, offering both recreational and therapeutic experiences.
