Oleśnica County

Oleśnica County is an administrative district in Lower Silesian Voivodeship comprising eight municipalities spread across a cohesive territory. The town of Oleśnica serves as the administrative center, with smaller towns like Syców, Twardogóra, Bierutów, and Międzybórz distributed throughout the area.

The county was established in 1999 as part of a major administrative reform that restructured Poland's entire local government system. This reorganization created a new tier of administration between the national level and individual municipalities.

The administrative region maintains five urban centers, including Oleśnica, Syców, Twardogóra, Bierutów, and Międzybórz, each contributing to local governance.

The district is well-connected to surrounding areas and larger cities like Wrocław through an established road network. Visitors can explore the various towns within the territory using local roads that provide straightforward access and navigation.

The territory contains the largest gmina by area, Gmina Oleśnica, which spans 243.4 square kilometers within the administrative boundaries.
