Gmina Jeżów Sudecki

Gmina Jeżów Sudecki is a rural gmina (administrative district) in Jelenia Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.

Its seat is the village of Jeżów Sudecki, which lies approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north of Jelenia Góra and 94 km (58 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław. Jeżów Sudecki is a rural gmina (administrative district) located on the slopes of the Kaczawskie Mountains, which border the Jelenia Góra Valley from the north, in south-western Poland. The municipality comprises eight villages (sołectwa): Jeżów Sudecki, Siedlęcin, Dziwiszów, Czernica, Chrośnica, Płoszczyna, Wrzeszczyn and Janówek, with a total population of over 7,000 residents. Agriculture has traditionally formed the basis of the local economy. However, the area’s natural and landscape features support the development of residential housing, tourism, recreation and sport. The surroundings of Góra Szybowcowa (Glider Mountain), the Dziwiszów Hills and Łysa Góra provide favorable conditions for outdoor recreation and attract both residents and visitors from the wider region. Proximity to Jelenia Góra has contributed to growing interest in residential development, including single-family and farmstead housing. A significant part of the municipality lies within the “Bobr Valley Landscape Park” (Park Krajobrazowy Doliny Bobru), which covers 1,797 hectares within the gmina. Additional natural assets include forest complexes of the Kaczawskie Mountains.

The gmina covers an area of 94.38 square kilometres (36.44 sq mi), and as of 2019 its total population is 7,438.
