Gryfino
Gryfino is a town in Pomerania, northwestern Poland, with 21,393 inhabitants. It is also the capital of Gryfino County in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, previously in Szczecin Voivodeship.
The town is located on the Odra Wschodnia, the eastern branch of the Oder river, about south of Szczecin in Poland. The western branch of the Oder, away from the town center, has marked the border with Germany since 1945, when the town and its region became Polish and was renamed Gryfino from the original Greifenhagen by replacing the German suffix -hagen by the Polish suffix -ino. There is a direct road link between Gryfino and the German town of Mescherin across the river.
The world-famous Crooked Forest is located in the village of Nowe Czarnowo, just outside Gryfino.Demographics
