How is Wycinka situated?
The term linear village describes a settlement pattern in which a place typically develops along a road. In Wycinka, this is a concise description of the settlement's character. A specific road reference is a separate matter: the dead-end road “Wycinka przez wieś” crosses county road No. 0678T in Wycinka and continues to county road No. 0678T in Ulów. Thus, a general settlement pattern and a named road route exist side by side. For specific directions, check the current route.
What does the local history tell us?
The name first appears in 1869, when Kornelia Radziszewska, heir to most of the Boria A, B, and C estates, separated a forest area from those estates.
