Who were the Wallachians? They were pastoral people who arrived in the Polish lands around the 15th century.  They wandered from the Bieszczady Mountains through the Beskid Niski, the Beskid Sądecki, the Gorce, Podtatrze, the Beskid Żywiecki and the Beskid Śląski and further west towards Moravia.

Ochotnica Górna has now immersed itself in tourism. Through it, trails lead to the Gorce peaks, e.g., Mt Turbacz and Mt Gorc.  Lubań – from which you can admire impressive panoramas of the Tatra Mountains, the Nowotarska Valley, Podhale, the Pieniny and many other mountain ranges. Lubań is close to Krościenko, Szczawnica, Czorsztyn, Niedzica, Nowy Targ and Zakopane... It opens up to us all the cultural and natural wealth of the region and the power of the attractions that not only the Gorce Mountains but also Podhale, the Pieniny, the Beskids and the Tatra Mountains offer at any time of the year – and to everyone.

The Tourist Information Point in Ochotnica Górna is a great place to help you discover all these secrets. It offers lots of advice and practical information, e.g., where to go for a walk, which bicycle route to choose (they will tell you if you can manage the ‘Kasia Niewiadoma Ochotnica Challenge’), which monuments to look  for, where to eat well, how to find comfortable accommodation. The PIT will also provide you with free guides, brochures, leaflets, maps and plans in versions in several languages. Of course, PIT also cooperates with local, regional and national institutions.

The Information Point in Ochotnica Górna is located at the end of the village in a well-equipped wooden building of the Youth Hostel, which is run by  the M. Konopnicka Primary School in Ochotnica Górna.

The Tourist Information Point in Ochotnica Górna operates as part of the Małopolska Tourist Information System.
