Grabów nad Prosną, Municipality in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
Grabów nad Prosną is a municipality in Greater Poland Voivodeship, situated in Ostrzeszów County. The settlement is built around the Prosna River, which runs through the area and shapes the local landscape.
During World War II, the German occupation renamed the place to Altwerder in 1940. After the war ended, the settlement returned to its original name and became part of the rebuilt Polish nation.
The town serves as a gathering place where residents participate in local sports clubs that are woven into everyday community life. These organizations bring people together for regular activities and friendly competitions.
The municipality is located in a rural area of Greater Poland and is best explored by car. The Prosna River offers water activities like kayaking during warmer months, making it easy to spend time outdoors.
The name Grabów likely comes from the word for hornbeam, a tree that once grew abundantly in this region. This botanical connection reveals how the natural landscape shaped the naming of human settlements.
