Nowa Wieś in the Kamienica Nawojowska Valley

Nowa Wieś lies on the Kamienica Nawojowska River and is a long, narrow village in the valley between Łabowa and Krynica. The river and valley give the village a distinct landscape setting, while Łabowa and Krynica situate it within the region. This combination is a good starting point when choosing where to stay: Nowa Wieś can be explored through its location, the surrounding nature and local history. This way, you can decide whether the landscape, historic architecture or a particular nature theme should be the main focus of your trip.

Valley, elevation and protected landscape

Nowa Wieś lies at an elevation of about 550 metres in the “Popradzki Park Krajobrazowy” Landscape Park. The surrounding forests contain protected, valuable stands of fir and beech in the ancient Carpathian Forest. For travel planning, these can be considered as two distinct features: Nowa Wieś is in the landscape park, while the fir and beech stands are in the surrounding forests. If you choose scenery as a focus for a trip to Poland, you can consider these two natural features separately. This is especially helpful if you want to choose accommodation based not only on the place name, but also on its landscape setting.

Nature trail and local history

One specific way to experience nature is the “Szlak Przyrodniczy im. Adama hr. Stadnickiego” nature trail. It starts about 2.5 km from Motel Arkadia in Nowa Wieś. This approximate distance connects the nature theme with the accommodation in terms of local orientation. The trail focuses on nature, while the wooden church represents local architecture and history. If you take both into account when planning your trip, you can weigh these different interests side by side.

The wooden “Narodzenia Bogurodzicy” church, dating from 1795, still stands in Nowa Wieś. It was renovated in 1884 and 1940. The dates serve different purposes: 1795 is the year it was built, while 1884 and 1940 are renovation years. This chronology makes the wooden church a specific point of interest for travellers interested in historic wooden architecture. It also provides a distinct counterpoint to the river and forest landscape: the village’s history can be explored through a named building and its different historical periods.

A local sporting connection

Sport is also part of the local character. WKS “NOWA WIEŚ” is a sports club that brings together fans of amateur ice hockey. This adds a sporting perspective to the nature and history themes. If you are weighing destinations according to different interests, you can consider the club alongside the landscape and the historic wooden church.
