Bolesławiec County

Bolesławiec County is an administrative district in Lower Silesian Voivodeship comprising an urban municipality, a mixed urban-rural zone, and several rural communities spread across the region. The territory connects different urban and farming areas through its geographic layout.

The county was established in 1999 during Poland's major administrative restructuring, incorporating areas that previously belonged to Jelenia Góra Voivodeship. This reorganization was part of a nationwide shift to simplify regional governance structures.

The region maintains strong pottery traditions where craftspeople in workshops and studios produce decorative ceramics using methods passed down through families. These handcrafted ceramics are a visible part of local identity and daily life throughout the area.

The town of Bolesławiec has a train station with regular connections to major cities in the region and bus services that run through the county. Public transportation makes it possible to travel from most areas and explore different parts of the district.

The district borders seven neighboring counties, placing it in a central position for trade and cultural connections between different regions of southwestern Poland. This location makes it a crossroads for regional commerce and exchange.
