Węgorzewo County, Administrative district in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland.
Węgorzewo County is an administrative district in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in northeastern Poland. The territory includes the town of Węgorzewo and several rural municipalities, forming a region characterized by lakes, forests, and agricultural areas spread across its landscape.
This administrative district was established in 2002 as a result of territorial reorganization that separated it from the former Giżycko County. The reform created the current administrative structure that defines the county's modern boundaries.
The region incorporates three distinct gminas - Węgorzewo, Pozezdrze, and Budry - each maintaining their individual administrative practices and local traditions.
The town of Węgorzewo serves as the main point of access and the administrative center of the county. From there, visitors can reach the surrounding rural areas and natural features by car or local transportation.
The territory shares a border with Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast, making it part of an international frontier zone with distinct administrative characteristics. This proximity to the eastern border shapes local development and infrastructure planning.
