Łobez

Łobez is an administrative city in West Pomeranian Voivodeship that serves as the center for its surrounding municipality. The area spreads across farmland and forests with several residential neighborhoods linked by local roads.

The settlement received official town rights in 1275 after a Slavic stronghold was established there during the 12th century within the Duchy of Pomerania. This marked the transition from an early fortress into a recognized trading center for the region.

The town maintains connections with partner communities across Europe and hosts regular exchanges that bring people from different regions together. You can see these ties reflected in local events and in how residents engage with visitors from abroad.

The town has several lodging options including a main hotel and local guesthouses scattered throughout the area. Spring through autumn offers the most pleasant visiting conditions with better weather and more local activities happening.

The name comes from the Old Polish word łobuzie, meaning the thick bushes that once covered the natural landscape here. You can still see this vegetated character today in the wooded areas surrounding the town.
