Gmina Budzów

Gmina Budzów is a rural municipality comprising six villages in the Beskid Makowski mountain region. The area is shaped by river valleys and forestland typical of this upland landscape.

The villages emerged during the rule of Casimir the Great in the late 14th century. This early settlement marked the beginning of permanent human presence in this mountain region.

The villages display traditional wooden buildings and roadside chapels that shape the local character. These structures reflect the way people have adapted to life in this mountainous setting.

The municipality is accessible by road connections linking to nearby towns and cities. Spring through autumn offers the best conditions for exploring the villages and surrounding forests.

A craft tradition of working with split wood and willow materials continues among residents. The surrounding forests provide abundant wild mushrooms and berries that locals have long gathered.
