In Poland lies one of the most remarkable towns in the world – a single street that is home to thousands of people. 

The charming village of Sułoszowa is world famous for its unique layout. The main – and only – street is approximately nine-kilometres long with all homes and businesses are clustered on each side.

Behind the buildings,  fields stretch out in every direction forming an intricate patchwork of green and gold. 

From above, Sułoszowa resembles a leaf, as noted by Katarzyna Bieda from the Gmina Sułoszowa council, the administrative district that includes the village.

She told Express.co.uk: “Sułoszowa is immersed in nature with lots of forests and fields. These fields have made us famous all across the world thanks to drone pictures in which our fields surrounding the main street look a little bit like a leaf.”

When it comes to why the town is built in this unique formation, Bieda also said: “The one street thing comes from the past, when it was easier for people to live on one street, mostly because of road communication.” 

In 2022 the population of Sułoszowa was just under 6,000 with 5,672 calling the village home.

Although tourists are originally drawn to the town for its strange structure, there is plenty more to explore in Sułoszowa.

Bieda said: “Every year, especially in spring and summer a lot of tourists visit our village because of the local landscape and also because of tourist attractions such as the Pieskowa Skała castle or our famous rock called Maczuga Herkulesa [Bludgeon of Hercules].”

While the Bludgeon of Hercules is an impressive 98-foot-tall limestone column, the castle is one of the 14th-century fortifications still standing in the village.

Local cliffs, ravines and some 400 caves located in the area are also a major pull for visitors.
