Pogoń

Pogoń is a residential district situated along the northern edge of Sosnowiec, stretching across several neighborhoods. The Czarna Przemsza river marks its northern boundary, creating a natural border with the adjoining city of Będzin.

The district is home to the University of Silesia and a specialized hospital that serve residents with education and medical care. Visitors can navigate the area easily and find local cafes and markets where daily life unfolds.
