Description
Gmina Kościelisko is a rural municipality in southern Poland near the Slovak border, made up of three main villages. The area covers mountainous terrain and sits on the edge of Tatra National Park.
History
The municipality was established in 1999 during Poland's local government reforms as one of five districts in Tatra County. The region's settlement history goes back centuries into the foothills of the Tatras.
