Gmina Cisna, Administrative division in Lesko County, Poland.
Gmina Cisna is a rural municipality in southeastern Poland that covers a large forested area with valleys near the border with Slovakia. The territory encompasses about 18 villages and is shaped by gentle hills and dense forests.
The territory came under Habsburg control in the late 1700s after Poland was partitioned among neighboring powers. This control shaped how the region developed for many generations.
The villages maintain traditional ways through local crafts and regional food passed down through families. Visitors can see wooden houses everywhere that define the character of these settlements.
The village of Cisna serves as the administrative center with offices and local services for residents across the settlements. Visitors should plan realistically since this rural area does not have many shops or accommodations like larger towns.
The area contains part of the Cisna-Wetlina Landscape Park with protected natural zones and special mountain plants and animals. This region draws nature lovers who want to see rare species and unspoiled landscapes.
