Gmina Lipnica Wielka, Rural municipality in Nowy Targ County, Poland.
Gmina Lipnica Wielka is a rural municipality in Nowy Targ County near the Slovak border, consisting of five villages with Lipnica Wielka as the main settlement. The area is dominated by forest and crossed by several streams and rivers that form part of the regional water network.
The area became part of Poland in the 10th century, later came under Hungarian rule, and returned to Polish administration after World War I. This border location shaped the region's history across many centuries.
Local people continue harvesting mushrooms and berries in the forests, keeping alive practices passed down through generations. These activities shape how residents connect with the surrounding woods throughout the year.
The area has about 8 kilometers of cycling paths and several marked hiking trails leading to natural areas and the nearby Lake Orawskie. Visitors should expect changing weather and forested terrain, especially when exploring the walking routes.
The area sits in the Black Sea watershed and is crossed by the Orava, Váh, and Danube rivers. These river connections link the local landscape to a far-reaching European water system that spans multiple countries.
