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/

This observation tower is over 35 meters high and is a must-climb for a magnificent panorama of Wdzydze and Wda, with their numerous islands. The views are breathtaking. There's also a restaurant nearby, so you won't go hungry.

The ecological site Peat bog on Lake Gołuń in Wdzydzki Landscape Park is a valuable protected natural area, an example of a raised peat bog. It is surrounded by picturesque forests and lakes, creating a unique ecosystem with rare plant species such as round-leaved sundew, common marsh or marsh cranberry. It is a great place for nature lovers, where you can observe water birds and enjoy the silence and wildness of the landscape. Cycling and hiking trails lead near the peat bog, so it is worth taking appropriate footwear, especially after rain, when the area may be waterlogged.
