Discover Zawadka

To decide whether Zawadka is right for your trip to Poland, three themes offer a practical guide: its location at the foot of Chełm, a yellow-marked hiking route and the Zawadka winery. The village’s history is another point of interest, with settlement dating back to 1400–1454. These different perspectives let you get to know the place, rather than seeing it only as a starting point for a single activity.

Panoramic views at the foot of Chełm

Zawadka lies at the foot of Chełm, which stands 793 metres high. From here, you can enjoy views of Nowy Sącz, Tęgoborze, Lake Rożnowskie and the Tatra peaks. The figure of 793 metres refers to the height of Chełm, not the village. This gives you a sense of Zawadka’s location between the lake, the Tatras and the surrounding villages. If you like to get your bearings in a landscape using specific landmarks, this combination is a useful indication of what sets Zawadka apart from a mere place name on a map.

A hiking route through Zawadka

The yellow-marked hiking trail runs from Marcinkowice via Białowodzka Góra and Zawadka to Rojówka. The route is estimated to take about three hours. This duration applies to the route as a whole, not just the section through Zawadka. Check the trail markings locally before setting out. If you like to consider a named route and an approximate duration when comparing destinations, this gives you a concrete starting point for further planning.

Historical traces of the village

Settlement in Zawadka dates back to 1400–1454. The village was owned by the nobility: Adam Jordan was the first owner, followed by his son Krzysztof. The time period and names give the village’s history a specific historical context. This lets you explore Zawadka not only through its landscape and activities, but also through the village’s development and its former ownership.

Winegrowing and tastings

The Zawadka winery has a vineyard at an altitude of around 400 metres, on a fairly steep southeast-facing slope. This is a distinctive feature of local winegrowing. The winery’s speciality is fresh, delicate white wines. It also invites visitors to taste white, rosé and red wines.
