The village covers about 42 square kilometers and has a population of roughly 1,200 residents. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cold winters. The economy is dominated by agriculture, with cereal crops and dairy farming as main activities; small-scale crafts and seasonal tourism also contribute.

It developed as an agricultural community through the modern era and received modest infrastructure improvements in the 20th century, including a regional road that connects it with larger towns.

Economy and infrastructure: The transportation network centers on a country road linking Medytowa to nearby towns; the public services include a primary school, a library, and a volunteer fire brigade.
