Gmina Złocieniec, Administrative district in Drawsko County, Poland
Gmina Złocieniec is an administrative unit in West Pomeranian Voivodeship that includes the town of Złocieniec and numerous surrounding villages. The area spans a mixed landscape with varied settlement patterns, from compact town centers to scattered farmsteads.
This administrative unit was created in its current form in 1999 during major local government reforms across Poland that reorganized the governance structure. These changes brought previously separate rural and urban areas under a single administrative authority.
The area shows how rural and urban lifestyles exist side by side, with traditional village patterns still visible alongside more modern town features. Each village maintains its own local character and customs that shape the broader landscape of the region.
The municipality is administered from the town of Złocieniec, which is easily accessible by car or public transport and serves as a practical base for exploring the area. The town center offers shops, services, and accommodations if you plan to spend time in the region.
The area includes sections of Drawsko Landscape Park, a protected natural space featuring forest stands and water landscapes not immediately visible when passing through settlements. This park offers visitors access to natural areas that are less obvious as you move through the administrative district.
