Geography
Located in the southeast of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (since 1999) in the region of the Pomeranian mountain crest, Drawsko Pomorskie is the capital of Drawsko County. Drawsko lies near the headwater of the Drawa, west of an expansive woodland which includes the protected area called Drawsko Landscape Park. The city of Szczecin is 100 km to the west. A large training ground near the town is frequently used in NATO exercises.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;—and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
