Bóbrka, Historic oil mining village in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland.
The village stands in a forested region near Krosno, characterized by rolling hills and traditional wooden architecture spread across the countryside.
In 1854, local entrepreneurs established the first organized petroleum mine in this location, marking the beginning of the global oil industry.
The village maintains Polish rural traditions through its agricultural practices, religious celebrations, and preserved nineteenth-century industrial structures.
Visitors can reach Bóbrka by taking a regional road from Krosno, located 7 kilometers northeast, with regular bus connections available.
The petroleum museum in Bóbrka displays original oil extraction equipment from 1854, including hand-dug wells that continue to produce oil.
