Niedzica

Niedzica [ɲɛˈd͡ʑit͡sa] (Slovak: Nedeca, Hungarian: Nedec) is a resort village in Nowy Targ County of Lesser Poland province, Poland, located on the banks of Lake Czorsztyn.

[1][2] The area became part of Poland in the 10th or early 11th century, and later it passed to Hungary.

[3] The Niedzica Castle was built between 1320 and 1326 on foundations of a prehistoric roost, and was an important centre of Hungary–Poland relations.

Niedzica developed into a popular tourist destination as a result of the construction of the dam on Dunajec river between 1975 and 1997.

Facilities close to the town centre include: the border crossing with Slovakia (2 km distance), the Pieniny hotel, the tourist apartment complex "Pod Taborem", Exhibition Hall, and the boat station for the raft ride down Dunajec River Gorge to Szczawnica resort town.
