Wysokoprne

Wysokoprne is a fictional village created for illustrative purposes in geographic and cultural education. It is described as located in the uplands of the imaginary country Veridia, near the border with Lirnia. The settlement centers on a compact core around a village square, with scattered farmsteads linked by local roads.

The village sits at about 340 meters above sea level, with a temperate climate, mixed forests of pine and deciduous trees, and fields on gentle slopes.

The name first appeared in an 1872 atlas; development accelerated in the late 19th century with a manor and later municipal reforms in the mid-20th century.

Historically based on agriculture and forestry; today dairy farming, potato cultivation, and timber processing form the backbone, complemented by small crafts and agritourism.

Current population is about 1,050; the majority speak a Veridian Polish dialect; local facilities include a school, clinic, and cultural center.

Notable landmarks include the Church of St. Margareta (19th century), the Wysokoprne windmill, and a stone bridge over a creek. The annual harvest festival is a prominent local event.

Access is via regional roads; the nearest railway station lies about 12 kilometers away; bus connections are limited.

The name likely derives from Polish elements meaning "high" and an archaic term for pine or clearing, though the exact origin remains uncertain.

As a fictional entity, Wysokoprne does not correspond to a real place.
