Moving away from major tourist hot spots allows encountering and discovering genuine and original places. Zalipie is considered Poland's prettiest, most picturesque village. Colorful cottages adorned with vibrant hand-painted flowers win visitors' hearts. The Painted Cottage contest has been held regularly since 1948, thanks to which newly painted flowers are added to cottage walls, continuing a tradition over 100 years old. Despite its beauty and attractiveness to tourists, the village is modest, genuine, in no way commercial. Zalipie is not an open-air museum but a place where people lead everyday lives, creating and cultivating their tradition and heritage. As a piece of trivia, Zalipie’s distinctive look served as an inspiration for the peasant cottages in the popular Witcher game series.
