Province!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poland\u2019s northernmost province has more to offer than just Baltic beaches. Birdwatching, hunting, angling, nature walks, tourist routes, cycling, canoeing, horse-riding and cross-country trails \u2013 all these attractions are to be found in Pomorskie province. One-third of its area is occupied by green areas including two national parks, nine landscape parks and 127 nature reserves. Gourmets will love Kashubian strawberries (especially during Truskawkobranie \u2013 the strawberry-picking festival), forest berries, roast goose and, naturally, Baltic herring. History enthusiasts will be enchanted by the province capital, Gda\u0144sk, with its Main Town and Long Riverbank, and the \u201ccity from the sea\u201d \u2013 Gdynia. In Sopot, those who like sunbathing and relaxing will enjoy the famous pier, have good fun on the \u201cMonciak\u201d promenade and at the annual Top of the Top Festival. Below are some places outside the Tricity definitely worth seeing in this coastal region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Language Did the Teutonic Knights Speak?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most popular question schoolchildren ask during tours of the Castle Museum in Malbork. The former capital of the State of the Teutonic Order is presented by guides in period costumes, who reveal the secrets of the Upper Castle, the Middle Castle and the Palace of the Grand Masters. The monumental brick structure of the restored stronghold full of legends really triggers the imagination. Scenes from the film based on Henryk Sienkiewicz\u2019s novel The Teutonic Knights were shot here. Almost genuine time travel is offered to participants during educational activities for children, calligraphy workshops, night-time tours of the castle and the annual Siege of Malbork staged by re-enactment groups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upside Down&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the heart of Kashubia, at the foot of Pomerania\u2019s highest hill \u2013 Mount Wie\u017cyca, a truly magical atmosphere can be experienced at the Regional Centre of Education and Promotion in Szymbark. Most people associate it with the Upside Down House where your sense of equilibrium goes haywire as you walk across the ceiling. An educational path in the forest leads to many unique objects: the World\u2019s Longest Plank, the World\u2019s Largest Concert Piano, the House of the Siberian Exile and the Kashubian Trapper House from Canada. At the centre, you can try beer made by the Kaszubska Korona Brewery as well as regional dishes, these are also offered at the G\u00f3scy\u0144c Pod Wiold\u017aim Dela restaurant. Tourists can spend the night at the hotel within the complex.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer

World&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone knows that one copy of the world\u2019s oldest printed book is housed at the Diocesan Museum in Pelplin. It is the 15th-century \u201cGutenberg Bible\u201d, a complete edition of the Scriptures, printed in Mainz by publisher Johannes Gutenberg. Next to the Codex Leicester of Leonardo da Vinci and the Gospels of Henry the Lion, it is one of the most expensive books in the world. Just 48 copies of the original 200 survive, and one of them is in Poland. The Cistercian Fair in Pelplin takes you back to the times when the cathedral basilica, one of the largest churches in Poland, was built.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only such extensive exhibition of works by Stanis\u0142aw Ignacy Witkiewicz, in Poland or the world, is on display at the White Granary in S\u0142upsk. The exhibition featuring hundreds of paintings, etchings, sketches, photographs, letters and first editions of books is housed in a building that is one of the most valuable historical industrial buildings in the city. The White Granary is part of the Museum of Central Pomerania complex in S\u0142upsk, the main building being the Castle of Pomeranian Dukes which boasts collections of early regional art and the annual Polish Piano Festival in the Knights\u2019 Room. An ethnographic exhibition at the Castle Mill, another division of the museum, uses numerous household utensils as well as crafts and folklore to show what people lived in Pomerania throughout history, and what changed after settlers arrived in the Recovered Territories after World War II.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the Desert<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Driven by the wind, the over 40m dunes on \u0141ebska Spit between the sea and Lake \u0141ebsko move at a speed of a few metres per year. You can see them on the tourist route at S\u0142owi\u0144ski National Park, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The route around Czo\u0142pino Dune with truly desert landscapes, \u201cdancing\u201d pines and a lighthouse is another attraction. The park also features the open-air Museum of the Slovincian Village in Kluki, where the life of the Slovincian people has been recreated in several homesteads. The Crafts and Technology Days held here offer an opportunity to try your hand at stitching fishing nets, whittling horseshoes called klumps, churning butter or making pottery. Peat-cutting shows are part of the Black Wedding event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuchola Forest National Park is the largest of the 10 UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in Poland.
