Gmina Chrzanów

Gmina Chrzanów is a municipality in Lesser Poland Voivodeship that combines urban and rural settlements across its territory. The area encompasses several villages and partly includes sections of a regional landscape park.

The municipality was formed through Polish administrative reforms that established a new three-tier government system in 1999. This reorganization shaped the gmina's modern structure and its role within regional administration.

The territory brings together urban and rural settlements where residents maintain local customs in their daily lives. This mix shapes the character of the gmina, showing how traditional and modern ways coexist across different communities.

The area is best explored by car or public transport that connects the various settlements throughout the territory. Visitors should be aware that some villages are spread out and not all sections are equally easy to access.

The territory contains sections of Tenczynek Landscape Park, a protected area with valuable natural habitats and ecological zones. This nature reserve offers space for walking and supports the region's biological diversity.
