Graticule

This graticule is located at 50,19. Most of the area belongs to the region of Lesser Poland, with smaller patches of Upper Silesia, and Sieradz Land. In the southern part, there is one National Park and several Landscape Parks, a type of protected area of lower status than National Parks that can be encountered in several Central European countries, of which the most notable are:

Ojców National Park
Eagles' Nests Landscape Park
Kraków Valleys Landscape Park with limestone rock formations

The general landscape varies, we can find here farming grounds, forests, urban areas, hills and flatlands. The biggest or otherwise known cities are:

Kraków, central and western parts (the eastern part belongs to 50, 20 graticule)
upper Silesian Urban Area with Katowice, Mysłowice, Sosnowiec and Dąbrowa Górnicza
Częstochowa

Local Geohashers

Felinator lives there.
Avix also lives there, but isn't really convinced to geohashing. Actually, he's waiting for Couch_Potato_Geohash.
mkoniecz lives there.
Czwartek lives there.
Malgond lives there, in the city of Kraków that is, even if his home actually lies just a little over the 50°N line.
zyxist lives there.
schloinkingoffrobots lives here, basically a walk away from 49, 19.
