dopuszczalny

Dopuszczalny is a village situated in southern Poland, within the administrative district of Gmina Niepołomice, Wieliczka County, in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. The settlement lies approximately 5 km north of Niepołomice, 16 km north‑east of Wieliczka, and 22 km east of the regional capital Kraków. Its geographical coordinates are roughly 50°08′N 20°05′E, placing it on the foothills of the Vistula River lowland.

The village is part of a predominantly agricultural area, with local land use divided between crop fields, orchards and small‑scale livestock farming. Dopuszczalny's population, recorded at just over 350 residents in the 2021 national census, reflects a modest, close‑knit community. The settlement’s infrastructure includes a primary school, a parish church dedicated to St. John the Baptist, and a community center that hosts cultural events and local meetings. Public transportation links connect Dopuszczalny with nearby towns, facilitating commuting to larger urban centres such as Kraków.

Historically, Dopuszczalny was first mentioned in archival documents dating to the late 16th century, when it formed part of the estates owned by the noble Zborowski family. Throughout the partitions of Poland and the interwar period, the village retained its agricultural character, while modest industrial development in the surrounding region in the late 20th century offered additional employment opportunities for residents. Today, Dopuszczalny balances its traditional rural lifestyle with proximity to the economic and cultural amenities of the Kraków metropolitan area.
