Leluchów

Leluchów is a village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship located near the Polish-Slovak border. It sits at about 513 meters in elevation, south of Muszyna, and the landscape is shaped by rolling hills and forests typical of the Carpathian foothills.

The village developed as a settlement in the border region of Lesser Poland and has been connected to changing boundaries between Poland and Slovakia across centuries. Its historical importance lies in serving as a meeting point between two distinct territories.

The former Greek Catholic church reflects the religious diversity that once shaped this border region and still marks the village landscape. It stands as a reminder of the communities that lived and worshipped here for generations.

The village can be reached via the main road from Muszyna, with regular bus services available from Nowy Sącz about 40 kilometers to the northwest. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the hiking trails in the surrounding mountains are fully accessible.

The village sits at a crossing point between Polish and Slovak mountain trails, making it a natural stop for hikers exploring both sides of the border. This location allows visitors to easily walk from one country's hiking network into the other.
