The village of Kluki
Open-air museum in the Baltic
Pomerania reminds us of the brick buildings of churches or the ubiquitous half-timbered cottages of fishermen. Its history is much more connected with the Nordic cities, with the Teutonic Knights and with the medieval trade and political association Hansa. In the village of Kluki, visit the open-air museum of the descendants of the Slavic Słowińce tribe, which is interesting in that the houses were not imported from anywhere, but stand in their original places. The great advantage of this village is that you can combine the visit with the nearby Czołpin and Słowiński National Park with sand dunes (described in the attached article).

Finally, we stop at a local stylish restaurant for coffee. It is still before the season, but the outdoor benches in the pleasant backyard are already creating the impression of expected tourists.

Sand dunes in the Baltic
Sea. White sandy beaches, hundreds of meters wide, without long rows of umbrellas and reserved places. Fairytale pine forests. Buildings like from Scandinavian film, brick Gothic churches, half-timbered estates. This is the Baltic coast, about four to six hundred kilometers from the Czech border. Thanks to the thousand years of sea and wind, the coast is lined by another local specialty – sand dunes. On the dunes near the village of Czołpino (or the town of Leba) we really felt like in the Sahara. Huge sandy hills alternate with sandy valleys. continue reading
