The exact geographical location of Bochnia is: 20°25′ E – 49°58′ N
Bochnia is one of the most splendid towns situated on the Raba River, between the Sandomierz Basin and the Karpaty Foothills, approx. 40 km from Cracow. This location determines the town’s excellent picturesqueness, because the area is undulating in its southern part, whereas the north is flat. Hills with compact forest complexes, cutting into the very town plus very close neighbourhood of the Niepołomice Forest provide Bochnia with unique charm. The ecologically clean region, the Spa of Salt Mine operating on the basis of the oldest European salt mine, a well developed hotel base, an indoor swimming pool, interesting surroundings (Nowy Wiśnicz, Lipnica Murowana, Chełm) as well as close neighbourhood of Beskid Wyspowy and Sądecki (Laskowa-Kamionna, Krynica, Muszyna) – popular tourist and leisure regions account for Bochnia’s significant attractiveness.
