Granica [ɡraˈnit͡sa] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kampinos, within Warsaw West County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.[1]
The village is home to the Jadwiga and Roman Kobendz Educational and Museum Center, part of the Kampinos National Park. There is also an open-air museum of forest architecture (a small portion of the planned ethnographic park has been completed) and an eagle-shaped World War II cemetery.[2]
Next to the museum is the Third Millennium Avenue, along which young oak trees were planted by President Bronisław Komorowski, among others.[3]
Scenes for Jerzy Skolimowski's film Essential Killing were filmed in the village.[4]
