Gmina Stężyca, Rural municipality in Kartuzy County, Poland.
Gmina Stężyca is a rural municipality spread across several villages in Kartuzy County, characterized by lakes, forests, and farming land. The administrative center sits roughly 22 kilometers southwest of Kartuzy and links the area to main transportation routes toward the coast.
The territory has roots in Kashubian settlement patterns and was reorganized in 1999 when administrative changes created Kartuzy County as a new territorial unit. This restructuring brought together several local communities under one administrative framework.
The region holds Kashubian customs visible in local celebrations and traditional cooking that bring people together throughout the year. These practices shape how residents connect with their heritage in daily life.
The area is best explored by car or on foot, taking time to visit the villages and local sites scattered throughout the territory. Roads between settlements are generally accessible, making it easy to move around at your own pace.
The municipality encompasses several distinct villages such as Betlejem, Borucino, and Czapielski Młyn, each maintaining its own identity and local characteristics. This scattered layout means visitors can experience a range of rural settlements rather than a single consolidated center.
