Gmina Zakliczyn

Gmina Zakliczyn is an administrative district in Tarnów County that encompasses the town of Zakliczyn and 23 surrounding villages. The territory blends urban and rural landscapes within Lesser Poland Voivodeship.

The area grew from medieval settlements that became integrated into Lesser Poland Voivodeship over time. Its administrative boundaries have remained largely consistent through Polish history.

Local traditions thrive here through seasonal gatherings and festivals that center on farming and village life. You can witness these customs firsthand when visiting the small communities scattered across the territory.

Tarnów lies to the northeast and Kraków to the west, both accessible by road from the district. The area is best explored by car or local transport as you move between the town and surrounding villages.

A portion of the district falls within Ciężkowice-Rożnów Landscape Park, which protects natural areas and water features across the region. This protected zone often goes unnoticed by visitors focused only on the towns.
