Cedynia

Cedynia is a small town in Poland, the administrative seat of Gmina Cedynia in Gryfino County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship. It is situated close to the Oder river and the border with Germany. The town is known for the 972 Battle of Cedynia, the first historically recorded battle of the Polish kingdom.GeographyCedynia lies in the historic Neumark region close to the Oder river, which since 1945 forms the Polish–German border; it thereby is the westernmost town in Poland (neighbouring Osinów Dolny lies 6km even further to the west, right on the German border, but is classified as a village). A road border crossing leads to the German town of Bad Freienwalde, Brandenburg in the southwest.The town gives its name to an extended protected area known as Cedynia Landscape Park.
