Gmina Zielonki

Gmina Zielonki is a rural municipality north of Kraków comprising around 20 villages within Lesser Poland Voivodeship. The landscape features open farmland, scattered farmsteads, and small settlements connected by local roads.

This municipality originated in medieval agricultural traditions and has maintained ties with nearby Kraków throughout its history. Over centuries, it developed through its proximity to the city while preserving its rural character.

Local residents blend farming traditions with suburban living, creating a way of life that sits between countryside and city. This mix shapes how people use the land and organize their daily routines.

The municipality connects to Kraków through regular bus services, making it accessible for visitors exploring the area. A car or public transit works well for visiting the scattered villages across the region.

Korzkiew Castle, a medieval fortress within these boundaries, rises from the countryside with views from its defensive towers across farmland. This fortified structure surprises visitors as a substantial historical landmark amid otherwise agricultural land.
