Wołów County

Wołów County is an administrative district in Lower Silesian Voivodeship comprising three municipalities: Wołów, Brzeg Dolny, and Wińsko. The county covers approximately 675 square kilometers with a mix of urban centers and rural settlements distributed across its territory.

The county underwent major changes after World War II when border shifts between Poland and Germany caused significant population movements throughout the region. These transformations shaped the current makeup of the municipalities and continue to influence their character today.

The three municipalities here host regular markets where locals sell agricultural goods and gather for traditional Polish celebrations. These gatherings form the heart of community life and show how residents maintain their connection to the land and each other.

The district connects to major transport routes leading to Wrocław, with regular bus services operating between the main towns and surrounding communities. This network of connections makes it straightforward for visitors to explore the different towns and move around the region.

The territory contains numerous historical buildings spread across its three municipalities, each preserving structures from different architectural periods. This variety of architecture tells the story of different eras that have shaped the region and makes each town worth exploring on its own.
