Gmina Międzyzdroje, Administrative municipality in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
Gmina Międzyzdroje is an administrative municipality spanning the western portion of Wolin Island in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, with territories extending along the Baltic Sea coast and into forested inland areas. The region contains diverse landscape types, including both coastal environments and woodland zones.
The territory developed from scattered farming settlements into an organized administrative unit following the Treaties of Stockholm in 1720, when Prussia gained control of the region. This political shift established the framework for the current municipal boundaries and governance structure.
The municipality hosts various cultural institutions, including the International Culture Center located in an Italian-style villa from 1857. Visitors can experience local artistic activities and exhibitions that shape the cultural life of the region.
The territory is well served by National Road 3 with a railway station connecting to major cities including Szczecin and Świnoujście. Infrastructure varies considerably between densely populated coastal areas and sparsely settled forest zones, so plan your route accordingly.
The territory contains sections of Wolin National Park, home to the highest coastal cliffs along the Polish Baltic shore. These remarkable formations were shaped by natural geological processes over long periods and stand out as a defining feature of the island landscape.
