The Pomeranian Switzerland (Polish: Szwajcaria Pomorska ) is a hilly landscape in Pomerania in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship . It is a part of the West Pomeranian Lake District on the Baltic ridge . The term Pomeranian Switzerland has not become established in Polish and is only rarely used. In Poland, the Dramburger Lake District (Polish: Pojezierze Drawskie ) is regularly mentioned when referring to Pomeranian Switzerland. The area around Połczyn-Zdrój (Bad Polzin), however, is called Polziner Schweiz (Polish: Szwajcaria Połczyńska ) in Polish .
