Racibórz County, Administrative district in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
This county spans several municipalities with a landscape of forests, farmland, and settlements positioned along the Czech border. The region comprises eight administrative units interspersed between urban centers and rural areas.
The territory remained under German administration until 1945 and subsequently became part of Poland. This transition defined the current border location and shaped regional identity.
The county hosts regional music events and folk festivals where traditional Silesian customs are actively practiced. Visitors can encounter local cuisine and craft traditions in the municipalities that shape daily life.
The municipalities are connected by regular bus services, with the main transportation hub located in the city of Racibórz. Before traveling, check local schedules as service frequency varies between urban and rural routes.
The Gmina Kuźnia Raciborska contains extensive protected forest areas where rare plant species thrive in natural river valleys. These natural spaces appeal to hikers exploring lesser-visited green corners of the region.
