Plain of Bia³ogard, where the town of 25 thousand inhabitants is placed, is situated between two attractive geographical lands: Pobrze¿e S³owiñskie and Pojezierze Drawskie. The town constitutes an important communication center of the Zachodniopomorskie Province (Western Pomerania). We possess convenient connection to other parts of country.

The distance between Bia³ogard and Koszalin is 29 km and between Ko³baskowo (frontier crossing point) and Bia³ogard is 157 km. Œwinoujœcie with a ferry base conneccting with Sweden and Denmark is within the distance of 158 km. Bia³ogard is surrounded with an unusually picturesque land of thousand lakes spread over hills and forests famous for a plenty of berries and game. On the outskirts of the town flows the river Parsêta – an interesting route of water wanderings and one of the most splendid rivers of Poland for anglers rich in precious species of Salmonidae (graylings, trouts, bulltrouts).

Bia³ogard acquired municipal rights in 1299. The town is a precious monument considering conservd medieval configuration of the Old Town. From the conserved monuments defence walls (from XIV century), Gothic St Mary’s Church from XIV century, gate of Po³czyn Zdrój and Town Hall are worthy of notice. At present a site planning of the City Centre is under way to retain and reconstruct the historical development of the town.

Economically active population of the town amounts to 14 thousand actually. Industrial branches in the town are the following:
electronic industry (assembly of electronic equipment and production of electronic components)

It participates in activities and conventions of the Hansa towns and exchanges experiences with its German sister city of Teterov. Since 1999, Bia³ogard has been cooperating with second town – Akniste (Latvia). We’re also looking for parnter city from Swedish „Pomerania” Euroregion.
