Founded in 1044, some 10 km south-west of Krakow, the small town of Tyniec was created to serve the Benedictine abbey of Saints Peter and Paul. It's a pleasant place to visit, especially in summer, when you can reach it by boat, or cycle from Krakow and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the wooded banks of the Vistula. From the outset, Tyniec was a defensive settlement, a fortified outpost on the road to Bohemia. Its proximity to the capital and its membership of one of the most powerful religious orders of the Middle Ages made Tyniec's monk superior the highly influential "abbot of a hundred villages".
