Inwałd

Inwałd is a village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship located in the southern part of the country. The settlement is situated in Wadowice County and features multiple leisure parks that form its main character today.

The settlement was founded in 1317 under the name Hoyenewaldt and went through several name changes including Helwand, Henwald, and Hynwald. These changes reflect the complex history and shifting control of the region over centuries.

The village keeps its rural roots alive through local celebrations and customs that show the connection to farming life. You can see this tradition in the way residents gather for seasonal festivals and community events.

The location works best as a daytime visit since the parks operate and reveal their full character during daylight hours. The grounds are easy to walk around, with clear paths connecting the different attractions throughout the site.

A special botanical garden displays thousands of plants arranged to form a portrait of a Polish Pope through living greenery. The garden sprawls across eight kilometers of walking paths, making it a rare combination of horticultural art and spiritual homage.
