Average forest road, bumpy and sometimes sandy, nothing really special here.

The church has a centuries-old history dating back to the Teutonic Knights, with roots dating back to the 11th century. The building resembles a converted sports hall.

A wonderful place. Here you can admire ancient buildings from Kashubia, Kociewie, and the Tuchola Forest. There are wooden cottages, windmills, an inn, churches, and entire old farmsteads. Travel back in time to see what people did when there was no internet! A truly interesting place, such living, fascinating history. You can peek into each building and see what it was like. Don't forget to buy tickets! http://www.muzeum-wdzydze.gda.pl/

A beautiful forest path in Wdzydze Landscape Park. Wdzydze Landscape Park is the heart of Kashubia, known primarily for the vast Lake Wdzydze, known as the "Kashubian Sea." Surrounding it are pine forests, peat bogs, and smaller lakes, creating an incredibly picturesque landscape. It's an ideal place for cycling – paths lead through forests and over water, and numerous viewpoints offer panoramic views of islands and bays. The park protects rare ecosystems, and encountering a crane or white-tailed eagle is not uncommon. This region combines natural beauty with tranquility, making it ideal for both longer hikes and short, recreational rides.

Once a year, the open-air museum hosts the Wdzydzki Fair, which lasts two days and is worth seeing

The Museum – Teodora and Izydor Gulgowski Kashubian Ethnographic Park in Wdzydze Kiszewskie is located on the picturesque shores of Lake Gołuń. There are over 50 buildings characteristic of the rural landscape of Kashubia, Kociewie and Tuchola Forest from the 17th to the 20th century. Visitors can admire the wealth of old wooden architecture of Pomerania with its equipment: cottages, manors, a school, windmills, churches, inns, farm buildings and craft workshops. The farmsteads present: methods of grinding snuff and grinding grain, washing, mangling, tailoring, weaving, the work of a blacksmith, wheelwright and forest worker. The museum offers various workshops and shows, both for individual visitors and for groups. For the youngest visitors, an interactive exhibition has been prepared “Museum for fun?” - where children can experience the past and plan a museum of the future. This is an exhibition where you are allowed to touch the exhibits: check what it is like to sleep under a duvet, look inside a cast iron waffle iron and rummage through a kitchen cupboard. It tells about various museums that exist in the world; explains why we need museum collections in the first place; shows what kind of exhibits can be collected, for example, in open-air museums. It asks children and adults the question: "What matters to people?" In this way, the exhibition makes visitors aware that research never ends, and that history and tradition are constantly being created. https://wdzydzkipark.pl/o-parku-4/dziedzictwo-kulturowe-6/muzea/kaszubski-park-etnograficzny/
