Szczytno County

Szczytno County is an administrative district in northern Poland's Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, covering roughly 1,900 square kilometers across two towns and six rural municipalities. The county seat of Szczytno serves as the main center for regional services and administration.

The county's current structure emerged from Polish administrative reforms in 1998, which took effect on January 1, 1999. These changes replaced the previous administrative system and established the boundaries still in place today.

The region centers on farming and rural traditions visible across its countryside today. Local communities maintain historical agricultural practices that shape how the land is used and cared for.

The county is connected by regional roads that link it to nearby areas, making travel straightforward. Szczytno, as the main center, provides essential services and facilities for visitors and residents alike.

Several lakes dot the landscape of this region, including Lake Brajnickie where water activities are popular. These natural features provide recreational opportunities for visitors during the summer season.
