Tylmanowa [tɘlmaˈnɔva] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Ochotnica Dolna, within Nowy Targ County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1] The population of Tylmanowa is 2,600.
Tylmanowa is located in the Gorce Mountains, near the confluence of Ochotnica and Dunajec rivers, north of Krościenko nad Dunajcem, and south-east of Gorce National Park. Mentioned already in the chronicles of Jan Długosz (1415 – 1480), Tylmanowa was founded in 1336 by Piotr (Petrus) Tylman, as a stopover on the trade route to Spiš and the Kingdom of Hungary. Notable points of interest include Neoclassical manor from 1840 and a wooden church from 1756, as well as the nearby landscape park called Kłodne nad Dunajcem (89,1 ha) leading to World Heritage Site, Dunajec River Gorge.[2][3][4][5][6]
