Jezierzany (Postomino)

Jezierzany (German Neuenhagen, Amt - Kreis Schlawe / Pommern ) is a village in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship and belongs to the rural community Postomino ( Pustamin ) in the Sławno ( Schlawe ) district.

Geographical location

The small farming village of Jezierzany is located on the west bank of the Jezioro Wicko ( Vietzker See ), 20 kilometers north of the district town of Sławno and 16 kilometers northeast of Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) on a side road that connects Sławno via Kanin ( Kannin ) with Jarosławiec ( Jershöft ). There is a rail connection via Darłowo.

The place is bordered by Naćmierz ( Natzmershagen ) 'and Jarosławiec in the west, by the Baltic Sea in the north, by Jezioro Wicko with Wicko Morskie ( Vietzkerstrand ) in the east and by Łącko ( Lanzig ) in the south.

To the north of Jezierzany the river Głowny Rów ( Krautglawnitz ) flows into the Jezioro Wicko. It had connected this lake and Jezioro Kopań ( Vitter Lake ) in earlier times, but then it was silted up. Under the reign of Frederick the Great , the Głównica ( Steinglawnitz ) was dug instead , which connects the lake with the Baltic Sea. This created new arable land for the places Królewo ( Krolow ) and the now defunct Wicko ( Vietzke ), and the meadows of Jezierzany and Łącko were drained.
