The landscape is formed by dunes, peat bogs, and extensive riverside meadows. The Liwiec, below nearby Zawiszyn, meanders lazily, creating sandy beaches and backwaters – an ideal place for family relaxation close to nature.
The Kamieniecka Forest is characterized by a mosaic of pine forests, oak groves, and mid-forest swamps; insectivorous sundews and over 200 species of mushrooms can be found on its edges.
Why Nadkole?

The most famous resident was Eugeniusz Rudnik (1932-2016) – composer and pioneer of Polish electroacoustic music, born “on the Liwiec”. In the 1980s, Maryla Rodowicz’s music video “Gdyby Zenek” was filmed on one of the farms – the singer was looking for the atmosphere of “Polish Tuscany” in Nadkole.
