Męcina

Mëcina is a village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship positioned at the edge of the Lososinski mountain range with the Smolnik stream running through it. This waterway continues toward the Dunajec River and shapes the local landscape.

Archaeological digs in the area uncovered urn burial sites from the Lusatian culture dating to between 1300 and 400 BC. These discoveries show that the region has been inhabited since ancient times.

The wooden church from the 17th century anchors the village center with its Baroque details and remains a gathering place for residents. Its presence reflects the religious life that has shaped the community for generations.

The village is located roughly 10 kilometers east of Limanowa and can be reached via the district road Limanowa-Chelmiec. Its position in the valley makes it easy to access for those exploring the surrounding hills and streams.

A sandstone quarry in the village recently resumed operations, reflecting how the community adapts to modern economic needs. A two-hundred-year-old mill building remains visible in the lower section and speaks to the former craft traditions that sustained the area.
