Gmina Nowy Targ

Gmina Nowy Targ is a rural administrative district in southern Poland comprising around 21 villages and settlements spread across the countryside. The area maintains its own governance separate from the town of Nowy Targ and keeps its farming character.

This administrative district was established in 1998 during Poland's major local government reforms. The reorganization created clear boundaries between urban and rural administrative units in the Nowy Targ area.

The villages here preserve highland traditions through local markets and community gatherings that shape daily life. Crafts and seasonal celebrations are part of how people express their connection to the land and each other.

The administrative center provides basic services, though accessibility can vary from one village to another. Visitors should plan ahead to find specific services, as settlements are spread across a large area.

The area is known for its many historic wooden structures that have survived for hundreds of years. These buildings, including traditional highland churches and homes, give the landscape its distinctive look.
