The Konin County covers an area of varied landscape. It has an interesting range of tourist, natural and historical values, which are its showcase and at the same time its real treasure of the region.

They used their own jargon, known as "kmina ochweśnicka". The jargon consisted of over 700 words and was made up of expressions borrowed from Polish thieves' dialect, Ruthenian jargons of the old jargon, as well as words of German, Ruthenian, Greek and Latin origin. This vocabulary was used by traders from Ślesin. This specific culture is a little known element of the Konin County heritage.
