Gmina Skrzyszów

Gmina Skrzyszów is a rural administrative district near the city of Tarnów, composed of five smaller villages spread across a hilly landscape. The area is characterized by farmland, patches of woodland, and traditional farm buildings that shape its countryside appearance.

Gmina Skrzyszów was shaped by Poland's administrative reforms in the 20th century, receiving its current boundaries after the reorganization of the governmental system. The region maintained its agricultural identity across generations and remained an important center of rural production near Tarnów.

Each village within Gmina Skrzyszów maintains its own local traditions through regular community gatherings, agricultural celebrations, and religious observances throughout the year.

Visitors navigate the area best with local maps since the villages are scattered across rural roads and public transportation is limited. Comfortable footwear is useful if exploring the area on foot or visiting traditional farmsteads.

The district incorporates five settlements - Ładna, Łękawica, Pogórska Wola, Skrzyszów, and Szynwałd - each contributing to the region's agricultural production.
