Chojnice
Chojnice occupies a lowland setting on the southern edge of the Tuchola Forest in Poland’s Pomeranian Voivodeship. The town is a long-established urban centre for the surrounding lake-and-forest country, close to Lake Charzykowskie and the broader Charzykowskie Lake District. Its compact historic core retains the layout and fragments of the fortifications of a medieval town, while the red-brick Basilica of the Beheading of St John the Baptist is among its best-known monuments. Chojnice also entered Polish history through the Battle of Chojnice in 1454, an early engagement in the Thirteen Years’ War between Poland and the Teutonic Order. Today, it combines regional services and rail links with access to northern Poland’s forests and lakes.

Chojnice straddles the historic boundary between Pomerelia and Krajna in southern Pomeranian Voivodeship, a position that has made it a regional centre between forest country and the Pomeranian lowlands. Its compact centre preserves sections of medieval defensive walls and the brick Gothic Człuchowska Gate, a conspicuous remnant of the town’s former fortifications. Nearby Lake Charzykowskie and the wooded lake district lead towards the Tuchola Forest, one of Poland’s largest forest areas. The market square and surrounding streets make Chojnice a worthwhile stop beyond the better-known Baltic cities.

Pomeranian Voivodeship has served as an administrative region within Poland since 1999. Stretching from the Baltic coast to the wooded Kashubian Lake District, it brings together Poland’s maritime north and an inland country of lakes and forests. The Vistula reaches the sea near Gdańsk, while the coast includes the shifting dunes of Słowiński National Park. Gdańsk, a historic Baltic port and member of the Hanseatic League, anchors the Tri-City urban area with Sopot and Gdynia. Kashubian language and traditions remain an important part of the region’s identity, particularly west of Gdańsk.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
