My region

They say that when the Lord was creating the region in the fork of Dunajec and Kamienica, He was in a very good mood, and he always smiles to this part of the world.
There is something really enchanting in this beautiful land which is one of the most interesting in whole Poland, not only because of its natural beauty. We can find there a lot of material culture which shows the national identity of those people.The main and largest city is Nowy Sącz.
Founded in 1292 by Wacław II Czeski, on the main trade routes quickly became one of the most important cities in the south. Here, Władysław Jagiełło and his brother -Witold met to discuss the war against Teutonic Knights.
Here also lived and worked Jan Długosz.
Now, Nowy Sącz is called a perfect place for tourism, and not without a reason, because 35 per cent of all Polish tourists trails are concentrated there.
There are a lot to choose from:
31,304 hectares of national parks and 55,983 hectares of landscape parks.
Very popular is the ,,Orthodox Church Trail” in the Lower Beskid, leading through almost magical Lemkos churches, lied on green hills.
The Lemkos, are a numerous ethnic minority of Ukrainian origin, which has its own distinct language, culture, customs and religion.
An exellent combine of relaxation and teraphy we meet in Wysowa where hundreds of people spend their free time walking past green parks and drinking ,,bublly” which is said to have magical power...
In 1997 a gondola lift on Jaworzyna Mountain started up and now it pulls crowds of skiing and snowboarding fans.
A very interesting form of recreation is horse riding in Gładyszów. Ponies there, are very easy to ride on. They are quite popular too, thanks to the Jerzy Hoffman’s film ,,With fire and sword”.
Others forms of recreations are: ice - rink in Krynica, in summer tennis is popular as well.
A very important event not only in Polish history was lightening the first oil lamp in 1854 in Gorlice by Ignacy Łukasiewicz. The oil which was discovered here, soon became a main import – export product of local companies. Still now, the town earns a lot by mining and processing minerals.

In my opinion everyone should come here to see this land. The land where different culture meet themselves, the land where industry hasn’t yet destroyed the natural beauty, where people live in quiet and peace and where everyone is invited.
