Zakroczym
Zakroczym ([zaˈkrɔt͡ʂɘm]; Yiddish: זאקראטשין Zakrotshin) is a town in the Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. The Vistula River flows through the town. Zakroczym has a long and rich history: in the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, it was the capital of an administrative unit (ziemia), part of Mazovian Voivodeship. Also, Zakroczym was a royal town of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland.
The name of Zakroczym comes from ancient Polish word zakrot, which means river crossing. Originally, the town was located closer to the Vistula river, and was called Kroczym or Kroczyn. Due to numerous floods, Zakroczym was moved to a higher location.
The Expressway S7 and National road 62 run to the north of the town, and the Warsaw Modlin Airport is located just east of the town.
The Zakroczym area is one of the places of cherry cultivation in Poland, which is one of the world's main cherry producers. Cherry products such as podchmielone wisienki zakroczymskie (cherries covered with syrup and spirit) and konfitura wiśniowa zakroczymska (a local type of traditional Polish cherry jam) are officially protected traditional foods of Zakroczym, as designated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Poland.
