Gryfino County

Gryfino County is an administrative district in West Pomeranian Voivodeship organized into nine municipalities. The western branch of the Oder River forms its border with Germany and defines its geographic setting.

The county was established as an independent administrative unit in 1999 when Poland reorganized its local government structure. This reform created the modern boundaries and organization that exist today.

The area maintains ties with German communities across the Oder River through ongoing cross-border projects and regular meetings between local groups. This shared work shapes daily life throughout the region.

The main administrative center is located in the town of Gryfino, where visitors can find services and local information. The region is relatively flat and is best explored by car, with small villages accessible through side roads.

A remarkable forest exists in Nowe Czarnowo where about 400 pine trees all grow with identical 90-degree bends at their base. This unusual woodland intrigues visitors and researchers because the cause of these deformations remains unexplained.
