Rent a holiday apartment in Waksmund – find a holiday home

Waksmund for your accommodation search

If you want to rent a holiday apartment in Waksmund, find a holiday home or book a hotel, your selection begins with the geographical location. Waksmund lies at an elevation of 565–575 metres above sea level in the Dunajec Valley, below the confluence of the Biały and Czarny Dunajec rivers near Nowy Targ and at the foot of the Gorce Mountains. Use this precise geographical setting as a filter for your travel planning before shortlisting accommodation in Waksmund. This allows you to first decide whether the landscape setting suits your planned stay. For an overview within the broader travel context, the Nowotarski page is a useful next step.

Between the Dunajec Valley and the Gorce landscape

The settlement has both mountainous and lowland areas in the Nowy Targ Basin; its built-up area is bordered by the Gorce slopes and the steep side of the valley. These spatial details give you a concrete idea of how Waksmund is situated in the basin and on the mountain slopes.

The nearby Gorce landscape includes Waksmund Mountain at 738 metres and Łysa Góra at 792 metres. The clearings of the Waksmund-Gorce ridge range from 870 to 1200 metres. This means that, alongside the valley area, clearly named elevations and mountain landscapes are also part of the local scenery.

Cycling route, nature and family activities

The Velo-Dunajec cycling route passes through Waksmund. If cycling is part of your travel plans, use this specific activity as a second filter when searching for accommodation: take it into account before shortlisting holiday apartments, holiday homes or hotels in Waksmund. Your decision will then be based on the travel programme you actually want to pursue, rather than solely on the type of accommodation.

Waksmund is home to the Brama w Gorce Nature and Education Centre, with views, an educational programme, observation towers and a treetop gallery.
