Waksmund, Village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Waksmund lies on the south bank of the Dunajec River at 565 meters elevation, with the Gorce Mountains to the north and slopes to the Tatra Mountains.
Between 1334 and 1338, German settlers established the village under Magdeburg Law, transforming the area previously known as Wilcze Pole or Wolf's Field.
In 1410, the village demonstrated its loyalty by sending five armed men to support King Władysław II Jagiełło during the Battle of Grunwald.
The village is situated 3 kilometers east of Nowy Targ and provides access to three national parks: Gorczański, Tatrzański, and Pieniński, all within 20 kilometers.
The location experiences extreme winter temperatures, with records showing temperatures dropping to -35°C and an unofficial record of -49°C reported in 1929.
