Gmina Chojnice

Gmina Chojnice is a rural administrative unit in the Pomeranian Voivodeship comprising multiple villages and settlements spread across agricultural and forested land. The town of Chojnice serves as the central hub for commerce and services, though it operates under separate governance from the surrounding municipal territory.

The territory gained its current administrative structure during Poland's 1998 local government reforms, which reshaped how communities were governed at the municipal level. This reorganization established the framework that continues to organize local governance across the district today.

The villages within the territory maintain local traditions connected to the wider Pomeranian heritage, visible in how communities gather and celebrate seasonal events. These places remain centers of rural life where farming and family customs shape daily routines.

Exploring the villages is easiest by car or bicycle, as settlements are spread across the countryside rather than concentrated in one area. For food, lodging, and services, head to the town of Chojnice, which has the most reliable facilities and amenities.

The area incorporates parts of two landscape parks, Tuchola and Zaborski, which together create opportunities for walks through forests and wetlands away from developed areas. This positioning between two protected natural zones makes it a setting where visitors can experience rural life alongside undisturbed woodland.
