Discover Nowa Wieś

Nowa Wieś is defined by two distinctive landscape features: the village stretches along both sides of the Pstrągówka and across the slopes of numerous hills. The stream and rolling terrain provide a clear framework for describing the area. There are also seven named hamlets, historic sites, and a hiking and cycling trail. You can get to know Nowa Wieś through its landscape, local divisions and individual points of interest.

Hills, a stream and seven hamlets

The hamlets are called Podlas, Niebylec, Borek, Bania, Łazy, Budy and Koniówka. These names help with local orientation: Nowa Wieś is not just a single settlement name, but is divided into several hamlets. Budy, in particular, is associated with a specific place: the Kapliczka na Brzostowej is located there. If you are looking for hotels in Nowa Wieś, the hamlets can be a useful guide when reading more detailed location information.

The old stands of trees also give the area a sense of its past. The predominant group dates from the turn of the 20th century. By contrast, the oldest stands with the character of an oak forest date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. These details describe different groups: the predominant old stands of trees, and the oldest stands with the character of an oak forest. Together with the hills and the Pstrągówka, they shape the landscape of Nowa Wieś.

Old watermill and Kapliczka na Brzostowej

The old watermill stands on the Pstrągówka in Nowa Wieś. It was built in the 19th century at the initiative of Teofil Wasilewski and is currently out of operation. Its history connects a specific place by the stream with the development of the village; its present operating status is also important context: the mill is a historic feature, not an operating mill.

Another historic landmark is the Kapliczka na Brzostowej in the hamlet of Budy. It stands at the highest point of the ridge. The reason it was built remains unknown. The mill and the chapel therefore offer two different perspectives on the area's history: the mill's construction date and initiator are recorded, while the reason for building the chapel remains unclear. This makes it possible to explore Nowa Wieś's cultural heritage through specific places without conflating their histories.

Along the Bukowa hiking and cycling trail

The Bukowa hiking and cycling trail runs from Zaborów across the Wisłok to Nowa Wieś, then continues towards Czudec. There is a rest area along the way in Nowa Wieś. The route described places the village on a trail connecting several stops; the rest area is a named point along this section. For planning your trip, both the stated direction and the distinction between the hiking and cycling trail are helpful. Check the current route and signage before setting out.

Those considering Nowa Wieś as a travel destination will find a clear mix of hilly countryside, local divisions, older stands of trees and individual historic connections. The Bukowa trail adds a hiking and cycling route to these features. When looking for a hotel, you can combine the place name with the hamlets described here and your interest in the landscape, history or trail; no specific accommodation features are implied.
