Opole Voivodeship, Administrative division in southwestern Poland
The voivodeship spans across 9,412 square kilometers and contains twelve counties, encompassing both urban centers and agricultural regions along the Oder River.
The province emerged in 1950 through administrative reforms, separating from the Katowice Voivodeship to establish improved regional governance in southwestern Poland.
The German language holds co-official status in 28 municipalities within the voivodeship, reflecting the presence of a German minority population in the region.
The region maintains direct rail and road connections to major Polish cities and the Czech Republic, facilitating transportation for its population of 966,000 residents.
The territory contains three landscape parks - Opawskie Mountains, Góra Świętej Anny, and Stobrawa - which protect the natural environments of the Silesian Lowland.
