Chojnice County

Chojnice County is an administrative area in northern Pomeranian Voivodeship with a mix of flat and gently rolling terrain covered by forests and farmland. The main settlements are Chojnice, Czersk, and Brusy, which serve as hubs for surrounding rural communities.

The territory came under Prussian rule until 1920, when it became part of Poland following World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. This shift in borders marked a major turning point in the region's political identity.

The county features traditional brick churches and wooden architecture scattered across rural villages that reflect local building customs. These structures shape the landscape and connect inhabitants to their regional heritage.

The administrative center of Chojnice is roughly 100 kilometers southwest of Gdańsk and accessible by car or public transport. Visitors should keep in mind that rural areas have less developed infrastructure, so having your own vehicle or planning ahead is advisable.

The county includes sections of the Tuchola Forest, a large woodland area with diverse plant and animal life that offers opportunities for hiking and observing nature. This forest spans multiple regions and provides a quiet retreat for those interested in the outdoors.
