Korfantow

The terrain around Korfantów is predominantly flat, cultivated lowland, which has shaped the town’s compact layout and its agricultural surroundings. Set on the Ścinawa Niemodlińska in Opole Voivodeship, it belongs to the historic Upper Silesian borderland, where Polish, Czech and German influences have long met. Known as Friedland before 1945, the town was renamed for Wojciech Korfanty, a Polish Silesian political leader associated with the region’s turbulent 20th-century history. Its quiet centre provides a useful contrast to the larger urban centres of Opole and Nysa.
