Rybnik County, Administrative county in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
The county territory consists of three separate areas divided by the city of Rybnik, encompassing five municipalities with varied landscapes and urban developments.
The original Rybnik county, established in 1818 by Prussia, covered a larger territory including Racibórz, Gliwice, Mikołów, and Wodzisław administrative regions.
The region incorporates elements of Silesian traditions through local festivals, community gatherings, and preservation of regional customs in its five constituent municipalities.
The administrative center operates from Rybnik city, though the city itself maintains separate administration as an independent city county.
Three distinctive spoil tips located in Czerwionka-Leszczyny serve as geographical markers within the county, while portions extend into Rudy Landscape Park.
