Nowa Biała, Lesser Poland Voivodeship

Nowa Biała is a village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship situated in elevated terrain at 600 to 620 meters above sea level. It spreads across the landscape along the Białka River with the layout typical of mountain villages in this region.

The village was part of the Spiš region, a historical territory that spanned across the border between Poland and Slovakia. It developed as one of numerous settlements that emerged when this mountain area was populated long ago.

St Catherine Church anchors community life in the village and hosts religious celebrations that bring people together throughout the year. The building reflects the area's long spiritual traditions that shape how locals gather and mark important occasions.

The village is reached best by local roads from Nowy Targ, the nearest larger town in the area. Expect mountain terrain and weather that changes with the seasons when you visit.

The village sits on the left bank of the Białka River, making it the only settlement on this side of the river in the Spiš region. This unusual position came about through natural shifts in how the river flowed over time.
