Let’s Go to Kashubia!

If you find the city too crowded for you, take a trip with us off the beaten track and spend a wonderful day in the region of Kashubia as a perfect way to leave the humdrum of everyday life behind. We will go out to the moraine hills among the green forests and the purest Kashubian lakes. If you want to bathe in crystal clear waters, you will have a chance to get your feet wet. Our day will be full of active sightseeing, but we will also find time to rest and contemplate nature. We will learn the traditions and culture of the Kashubians, an ethnic group famous for its distinctive ornamental designs and unique dialect. We will try some powdered Devil’s Weed which packs a pretty strong kick and climb the highest beauty spot in the region: Mount Wieżyca. You will see and fall in love with this place, nicknamed the Kashubian Switzerland and renowned as one of the most beautiful areas in Poland.

Kashubian Tobacco Workshops

We have a special surprise for smaller and larger groups. As the locals in Kashubia say: Who is not tobacco, means nothing. So you have to shake it with a bang. We will try the best local snuff, and learn what snuff is and what role it plays in local communities. Powdered snuff is a natural and safe stimulant and works wonders in fighting a runny nose.
