Osiek nad Notecią [ˈɔɕɛk ˌnad nɔˈtɛt​͡ɕɔ̃] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wyrzysk, within Piła County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) south-east of Wyrzysk, 39 km (24 mi) east of Piła, and 84 km (52 mi) north of the regional capital Poznań.

The village has a population of just over 4,000.

During the Prussian and then German rule of the area the village held name of Netzthal, which was changed in 1942 during Nazi occupation of Poland to Netztal.

It is known for the second largest open air museum in Poland with a number of farm houses and windmills dated from XVIII and XIX centuries from the North Wielkopolska and Krajna region as well as for an archeological museum on the site of the ancient burial site dated at around 500 b.c..

General W. Anders was associated with that area (his father owned a horse stable in the village of Pracz which is now a part of Osiek) www.osiek.net/skansen/
