Szczecinek County

Szczecinek County is an administrative district in northwestern Poland that contains several towns and rural communities spread across forested and water-filled landscapes. The main settlement of Szczecinek sits at the center, with smaller towns and villages distributed throughout the territory.

The county was established in 1999 during Poland's administrative restructuring, bringing together territories that had previously been divided between different voivodeships. This reorganization created the current shape of the district.

The region keeps local traditions alive through weekly markets where residents sell regional products and handmade goods from West Pomeranian craft makers.

Getting around the area works best with local bus services that link all the towns and villages together. Szczecinek functions as the main railway hub if you are traveling to or from the region.

The territory is dotted with lakes and ringed by forests, making it a center for timber production and water activities that draw visitors seeking outdoor recreation. Many people come specifically for fishing, boating, and hiking among the trees.
