Norowy Dół Gorge
Highlight (Segment) • Gorge
The history of the ravine is associated with the Nor family (or Nur family), which was mentioned in the Kazimierz Dolny city book as early as 1555. Their lands stretched in the area of the ravine, and in 1633 Stefan Nur purchased an oak grove. Names related to the Nory/Nury family appeared regularly in city records until the end of the 18th century, and the ravine and the street leading through it are still called Norowy Dół.
In the past, at the mouth of the ravine, there was an important nodal point of port facilities on the Vistula. The ravine is also an example of natural erosion, which had a destructive effect on human activity, including destroying roads and reducing the area of arable fields. Classes related to gully erosion are often held here.

Former Synagogue and Museum of Jewish History
Highlight • Religious Site
The synagogue in the late Baroque style was built of limestone, and its plan is a rectangle measuring 14.8 x 16.9 m. The interior initially consisted only of the main prayer hall, with prayer rooms for women and other rooms added over time. The interior was decorated with polychromes, the plant and animal motifs of which have been described by researchers, although they have not survived today.
The synagogue was in operation until 1939, when it was closed by the Germans. It was devastated in 1944 and fell into ruin after the war. In 1953 it was rebuilt as a cinema, and the interior was adapted to new functions. In 2003 the cinema was closed.
Today there is a small museum and a shop with Judaisms.

Historic well on the Market Square in Kazimierz Dolny
Highlight • Monument
The city with about 3,600 inhabitants is picturesquely located on the breakthrough of the Vistula from the Lublin and the Lesser Polish highlands. Because of the trade routes that were bundled there, the settlement soon became an important merchant town in the 12th century, in which many Jewish families also settled. Magnificent palaces were built in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The rule of the Swedes and the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War made the city impoverished, so much of the old substance was preserved. Today the old town on a terrace over the Vistula is a little gem.
A little tip: In the middle of the market place under a wooden shoring, you can fill up fresh drinking water free of charge 🤗
