Rożnów, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.

The village of Rożnów sits on the banks of Lake Rożnów, created by a dam constructed on the Dunajec River in southern Poland.

The construction of the Rożnów Dam between 1935 and 1941 transformed the local landscape and created an artificial lake spanning 80 kilometers along the Dunajec River.

The village maintains connections to Lesser Poland's regional traditions, with local celebrations and customs reflecting the broader cultural heritage of Małopolska.

Located 17 kilometers north of Nowy Sącz and 64 kilometers southeast of Kraków, Rożnów provides access to water activities on Lake Rożnów.

The Rożnów Dam, measuring 30 meters in depth, serves multiple functions including flood prevention and power generation through its integrated hydroelectric plant.
