Bukowina Tatrzanska Commune lies on lands of two regions divided by The Bialka, a rapid clean river flowing from the heart of The Tatra Mountains with Podhale region on its left bank and Spisz region on the right. Their different histories and cultures and their mutual interaction at the same time compose the unique “frontier atmosphere”, which is noticeable at first sight.
The Commune consists of 8 villages: Bukowina Tatrzanska which stretches on the ridges and sides of Gliczarowskie Foothills (Pogorze Gliczarowskie), Gron and Lesnica which lie in its valleys, and Brzegi which is the farthest to the south. In The Bialka River valley, on its left bank lies Bialka Tatrzanska, and on the opposite bank - Czarna Gora, Jurgow and Rzepiska belonging to Spisz region.
