Punkt widokowy Widoma is a prominent hilltop viewpoint located along the DW965 road in the village of Rozdziele, Poland. It sits at an elevation that provides an expansive panoramic perspective of the Beskid Wyspowy mountain range and the Pogórze Wiśnickie foothills. The site is situated near the border of the Małopolska region, specifically within the Żegocina commune. Visitors can view the characteristic peaks of the 'Island Mountains' from this vantage point, which are known for their distinctive isolation. The area features a small parking shoulder off the regional road, allowing for quick vehicle access. It is primarily a transit stop for motorists traveling between Bochnia and Limanowa.

Bring binoculars to identify specific peaks in the Beskid Wyspowy range.
Be cautious when pulling into the designated parking area as it sits directly off a regional road with high-speed traffic.
Check local weather forecasts for fog alerts, as the altitude often traps low-lying clouds that obscure mountain views.
Do not attempt to walk along the roadside, as there is no pedestrian shoulder and traffic moves quickly through this mountain pass.
