Gmina Bogatynia

Gmina Bogatynia is an administrative district covering 136 square kilometers in southwestern Poland at the border region. The territory includes the main town and 14 smaller settlements where roughly 23,000 people live.

In 1998, this district was transferred from one regional administration to another during a major restructuring of Poland's territorial system. This shift changed how local government operated in the area.

This place serves as a crossroads where Polish, Czech, and German communities meet and interact daily. The border location shapes how people here connect across boundaries and work together on shared local matters.

This region lies at the border and is best explored starting from the main town, which connects to all surrounding villages. Good road links make it easy to also visit the neighboring Czech and German border towns.

The area contains a nature reserve called Grady koło Posady that protects rare hornbeam forests found nowhere else nearby. These woodlands represent an important ecosystem worth seeing for anyone interested in natural history.
