The Dunajec Canyon, a prominent natural landmark in the region, offers opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and other outdoor activities.

Historically, Przedziałów has been part of various political and cultural regions, including the Kingdom of Poland, the Austrian Empire, and later, the Second Polish Republic. Its location along the Dunajec River has made it a part of the broader cultural and economic landscape of the Carpathian Mountains. The village’s name likely derives from the word "przedział," meaning "interval" or "gap," which could refer to the natural geography of the area.

Its proximity to national parks and tourist attractions makes it a convenient base for visitors exploring the Dunajec Canyon and the surrounding Carpathian region. The village does not have significant industrial or commercial activity, preserving its traditional character. Residents primarily engage in farming, forestry, and services catering to tourists.
