Powroźnik, Orthodox village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

The village stretches along the Muszynka valley, featuring traditional wooden architecture and numerous mineral water sources at an elevation of 480 meters.

King Wladyslaw Jagiello first mentioned Powroźnik in a 1391 donation act, while the official location document was issued during the 1565 Parliamentary meeting in Piotrkow.

The Saint James wooden church, built in 1606 and relocated due to floods, contains valuable Orthodox art, including a Baroque altar and seventeenth-century iconostasis.

The village provides access to hiking trails leading to Parkowa Mountain and Zimne Mountain, with routes extending between two and three hours of walking.

The name Powroźnik derives from the rope production that occurred in this settlement during earlier centuries, reflecting its industrial heritage.
