Wapno

Wapno is a village in Wągrowiec County, in the Greater Poland Voivodeship, close to the border with Żnin County.

Wapno is Polish for lime and reflects the large gypsum deposits in the area, which can be processed to produce lime. There are also large deposits of rock salt that were mined extensively beginning in the nineteenth century.
