Summary/Abstract: The article presents the existing concepts of the ethnogenesis of the Podhale Highland- ers, which seems interesting in the context of the current fashion among Highlanders for their Wallachian origin . Until now, in the literature on the subject, the view of the European origin has not been so strongly discussed . The methods adopted by the researcher include the analysis of historical studies of 19th-century researchers, as well as contemporary ethnographic materials . The material is supplemented by a pilot survey on awareness of the bonds of the Highlanders of Podhale with the inhabitants of the Carpathians .
