Gorlice – city located in the green areas of Beskid Niski, on the border of Poland and Slovakia. In our small town, there is something for history and nature lovers, sportsmen, ecologists and poets, children, teenagers and adults.
Gorlice is an unofficial capital of Beskid Niski and Pogórze. It makes an attractive tourist base, with numerous tourist trails in Magurski National Park, scenic parks, old orthodox churches, and numerous spas. It is also recommended to visit one of the oldest Polish city parks named after Wojciech Biechoński, founded in 1900. The park is the part of sports-recreational facility with the stadium, ice rink, sports hall, and indoor/outdoor swimming pool.
Out of town:
Biecz – a town located 12 kilometres away from Gorlice, delights with the richness of monuments and specific charm of narrow streets, old ramparts and the steeple-shaped town hall. Biecz has preserved the medieval urban arrangement featured by the centrally located, rectangular market square with a town hall in the middle.
Siary- near Gorlice, with a secession palace of Długoszowie (now a private property). The palace is surrounded by a beautiful park with old-growth forest, fountain, pergola and garden sculptures.
Szymbark- near Gorlice, with the castle at dating back to the end of the first half of the 16th century. It is a renaissance manor of Gładysz family the shape of which is decorated with an ornamental arcaded attic and four square oriels.
Zagórzany – near Gorlice with the neo-Gothic palace constructed between 1834 and 1839 the ruins of which are now a private property.
The health resorts locatednear Gorlice are:Wysowa Zdrój and Wapienne.
Wysowa is famous for the mineral water drawn there. It is alkaline acidic water which supports the treatment of illnesses of respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system and ulcers. While staying at Wapienne you can try the benefits of mineralized sulphur water used mainly for bathing.
Land of Gorlice is not only about monuments but it is also a place of active leisure. Due to numerous bicycle trails, horse rides in one of the largest Hucul horses stud in Europe as well as great sailing or swimming opportunities on an artificial lake in Klimkówka, Gorlicemakes a great living and working area. Lovers of tourism and cultural souvenirs can travel around Land of Gorlice along trails. One of them is the Carpathian-Galician Oil Trail which runs from Klęczany near Nowy Sącz across the Lesser Poland Voivodship and Subcarpathian Voivodeship all the way to the Ukraine. The trail offers the possibility to learn the history of oil industry in that region and see original machinery used for oil extraction.
Another trail crossing the Land of Gorlice is the Lesser Poland Trail of Timber Architecture with about a dozen of monumental structures located along it e.g. Orthodox churches, Catholic churches and farmsteads.
Beside its beautiful location in Beskid Niski, which makes the city a tourist attraction, Gorlice is also the center of industry and small businesses. Many of businesses operating in the area have a long tradition; have survived Polish economic transformation and are doing great on a free market. Also newer businesses have found their place on the market - they produce and render service not only on a local, but also national and European scale.
