Kuźnice, District in Zakopane, Poland
Kuźnice is a district nestled at the base of Bystra Valley in Zakopane, surrounded by the slopes of Nieborak, Boczań, Jaworzyński Range, Krokiew, and Nosal mountains. The area sits in a natural valley formed by these surrounding heights.
The district was founded in the 18th century when iron ore deposits were discovered, prompting the creation of the Hamerskie Ironworks. This early industry shaped the area's development as a working community.
The Zamoyski Manor houses galleries displaying regional art and historical objects that tell the story of local craftsmanship. These collections reflect the artistic traditions that have shaped the character of this mountain community over time.
Buses and minibuses connect the district to central Zakopane, with regular services departing from John Paul II Roundabout. Public transportation makes it easy to move around and reach other parts of the town.
The district is home to the Kasprowy Wierch cable car station, which carries visitors to higher elevations for extensive hiking routes. This access point to the Tatra serves as a major gateway for climbers and hikers throughout the region.
