Pokarmów

Pokarmów is a village in southern Poland, located within Silesian Voivodeship. The village is situated approximately 45 kilometers southeast of the regional capital Katowice, within the counties of Cieszyn and Ustroń.

Geographically, Pokarmów is situated on the slopes of the Jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska mountain range. The village's terrain is characterized by rolling hills and a dense network of smaller streams and rivers that drain into the Vistula River, which is the country's largest river.

Historically, the village's name "Pokarmów" is derived from the Old Polish word "poka" meaning "near" and "mów" meaning "of a watercourse" which originally referred to the village's proximity to a nearby stream. The village is first mentioned in written records in 1326.

Presently, the local economy is characterized by small-scale agriculture and picking wild berries and mushrooms from the surrounding forests which provides some income for local inhabitants. These forests are classified as a high conservation value area and are home to diverse species of flora and fauna, including ancient tree species.

The village has few local amenities but has direct connection to the regional network of bus services and main roads.
