Gmina Kołbaskowo

Gmina Kołbaskowo is a rural administrative district in northwestern Poland containing 23 villages and settlements. The area spreads across roughly 105 square kilometers near the German border with varied village structures throughout.

The administrative district developed as part of West Pomeranian Voivodeship with its seat in the village of Kołbaskowo. This structure emerged from administrative reorganization following major regional changes in this border area.

The area is shaped by farming and exchange between Poland and Germany, which shows in local markets and gatherings at the border. Visitors experience a region where traditional village life and neighborly relationships define everyday rhythms.

The local administrative seat and key services are located in the village of Kołbaskowo, roughly 14 kilometers from Szczecin. Visitors should know the area is spread out and will need time to explore the different villages.

Parts of the area lie within the Lower Odra Valley Landscape Park, a protected natural zone that combines administrative functions with nature conservation. This park preserves a rare river landscape along the German border.
