Gmina Kłodawa, Rural municipality in Gorzów County, Poland
Gmina Kłodawa is a rural municipality in Gorzów County, in western Poland, made up of several villages and small settlements. Part of its territory falls within the Barlinek-Gorzów Landscape Park, a protected area known for its forests and lakes.
The area was first settled by Slavic populations and later came under German influence, particularly in the modern era. After World War II it became part of Poland and took on its current administrative form.
The name reflects Slavic heritage rooted in this part of Poland. Residents maintain connections to their past through everyday practices and how they use their villages and the surrounding land.
A car is the most practical way to move between the villages, as public transport connections are limited. Many parts of the landscape park can be reached on foot along marked forest and walking trails.
The territory is home to several natural lakes, including Przyłężek Lake, which sits within a protected zone and supports rare plant and animal species. The presence of these lakes gives the area a very different character from the flat farmland surrounding the villages.
