General presentation
Kachoubie
Hillland, lakes, villages, Kachoub culture and green escapades west of Gdańsk.
Kartuzy, Wieюyca and Kashubian Lakes give the most telling landmarks of Kachoubi. Together, they form a destination where the shores and lakes, forests, countryside and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: soft destination and dispersed services. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Kartuzy
Kartuzy serves as a small capital with kachoubic landscapes, with nearby lakes, gentle hills and traces of the old Cartreux monastery. The city is especially interested as an anchor to understand the Kachoub culture, its embroidery, its language and its surrounding villages.
Town or village
Wieżyca
Wieżyca overlooks the Kachoub hills and gives access to one of the most marked reliefs of the Polish north. The observation tower, forests and surrounding paths offer a simple exit from Gdańsk, especially when you want to replace the coast with a landscape of lakes.
Nature
Lacs kachoubes
The Kachoub lakes draw a hilly country where wooded banks, small beaches, villages and slow roads follow each other. They are suitable for quiet stays, kayaking and walks between water and forest, with a regional culture well present in the neighbouring villages.
