Foothills, Beskid landscapes and the Skawa area

Wadowice County is located in the southwestern part of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in the Carpathian foothills. The western part belongs to the Silesian Foothills, the southern part to the Little Beskids, and the northeastern part to the Wieliczka Foothills. The wider area also includes parts of the Little Beskids and the Middle Beskids in the Skawa River basin. The landscape is characterised by strongly undulating hills and gentle valleys.

This landscape makes geographical orientation a separate consideration when searching for accommodation in Wadowice. If the foothills, the Beskid landscape or the Skawa area are important to your trip, compare the specific locations of current holiday apartments, holiday homes and hotels with the landscape focus of your itinerary. The priority is then not simply “accommodation in Wadowice”, but the right location for the landscape you want to experience.

For a trip with changing focuses, you can divide your days between culture, religious associations, regional cuisine and routes through the landscape.
