Bochnia County, Administrative district in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
Bochnia County encompasses 649 square kilometers of diverse terrain between Krakow and Tarnow, including the Raba River valley and surrounding highlands.
The territory emerged from the former Szczyrzyc County, which was reorganized during the 1998 Polish administrative reforms and officially established on January 1, 1999.
The district maintains nine administrative units called gminas, each preserving local traditions through municipal organizations and regular community gatherings.
The county connects to major Polish cities through the A4 motorway network and regular train services from its main transport hub in Bochnia.
The administrative region contains numerous underground chambers from medieval salt mining operations, which now serve as tourist and therapeutic facilities.
