Gmina Łącko

Gmina Łącko is a rural municipality in Lesser Poland in southern Poland, spanning multiple villages across the landscape. The area is defined by traditional village structures and farming land, with small settlements scattered across the rolling hills and valleys.

The area was long part of Nowy Sącz Voivodeship before being integrated into Lesser Poland Voivodeship in 1999. This administrative change reshaped the municipality's governance structure.

The municipality is home to White Gorals, an ethnic group with distinct traditions visible in house architecture and daily life. Visitors can experience this cultural character in the villages, where local crafts and farming methods continue to shape how people live.

The municipality is well served by regional roads connecting to neighboring areas and providing access to individual villages. Visitors should check road conditions before visiting, as the terrain is hilly and local roads can be narrow.

The municipality is known for extensive apple orchards that shape the landscape and support local fruit production. Notably, Śliwowica Łącka, a traditional plum brandy, is produced here using methods specific to the region.
