Gmina Kartuzy

Gmina Kartuzy is an urban-rural municipality in the Pomeranian region that connects town and countryside through its mixed settlement pattern. The territory contains lakes, woodlands, and scattered villages alongside the central town area.

The municipality was formed through administrative reforms and became one of several local government units within Kartuzy County in the Pomeranian region. It has since served as the local administrative body for resident communities.

Kashubian traditions remain present in the small villages scattered across the territory, where local crafts and customs are woven into daily life. The landscape of lakes and forests shapes how people here connect with their surroundings.

The territory lies west of Gdańsk and is accessible by car through a network of local roads connecting the scattered villages and town center. Navigation is straightforward in most areas, though the dispersed settlement pattern means some places are better reached on foot or by local transport.

Parts of the territory fall within a protected landscape park that preserves rare plant and animal species across its forests and wetlands. These green corridors form an unexpected ecological network woven through the settled areas.
