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.
