Nowy Targ County is a county in southern Poland, within the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. Its landscape is mountainous, and it lies in the Tatra Mountains region, which gives it the character of a place built around the outdoors.
Visitors come here mainly for outdoor recreation and tourism. The terrain suits those who want to spend their days in the hills and mountains rather than in towns, and the county is known as a popular base for this kind of trip. It is a place to plan around walking, nature and fresh mountain air rather than around a fixed list of sights.
What a visit offers
- Mountain scenery in the Tatra region, shaped by high ground and open views
- Outdoor activities suited to the terrain
- A quieter, landscape-led pace compared with the big cities of the country
Because the county is defined by its mountains, the best approach is to think of it as a region to explore slowly, with time set aside for the landscape itself. Those who enjoy active holidays will find it a natural choice, while anyone looking for an urban break may prefer to combine a stay here with a visit to a larger city nearby.
Planning your trip
Check the seasons and local conditions before you set out, since mountain weather can change quickly. Arrange transport and accommodation in advance where you can, as this is a destination that draws visitors throughout the year.
