Zamostne: Culture and Kayaking
Accommodation in Zamostne
Zamostne can be explored through two distinct themes: cultural and historical sites on Wejherowska Street and a kayaking route that leads from here to Reda. When planning your trip, you can decide whether you would rather combine your stay with visits to cultural sites or an active tour on the water. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Zamostne, these interests can help guide your choice of destination.
Cultural sites on Wejherowska Street
In Zamostne, a Protestant cemetery and a manor house within a manor farm complex are located on Wejherowska Street. The two sites represent different cultural and historical themes: the cemetery is Protestant, while the manor house is part of a manor farm complex. Zamostne therefore offers more than one reason to plan your stay around activities on the water. If you would like to visit the historic sites in person, check visiting arrangements in advance.
The kayaking route from Zamostne to Reda
The 22-kilometre kayaking route from Zamostne to Reda is considered moderately difficult and strenuous. Narrow sections and wider stretches alternate in the riverbed. Obstacles include weirs, bridges and footbridges, where you will need to carry your boat. So the tour involves not only paddling, but also sections where the boat must be carried on land.
From the starting point in Zamostne, paddling is easy and pleasant. This should be distinguished from the assessment of the route as a whole: the pleasant start does not change the fact that the 22 kilometres overall are considered moderately difficult and strenuous. As river conditions can vary, check the current situation before setting off. This will help you assess the tour in terms of its length, difficulty rating and obstacles in the riverbed.
Culture and history in the wider destination of Neustadt (Wejherowo)
Neustadt (Wejherowo) also has its own cultural and historical focus. Kalwaria Wejherowska was the fourth Calvary complex to be established during the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. After Bishop Mikołaj Albert Gniewosz of Aleksandrów approved its construction on 9 June 1649, work began on its chapels.
The Muzeum Piśmiennictwa i Muzyki Kaszubsko-Pomorskiej in Neustadt (Wejherowo) was founded in 1968. It is a treasure trove of regional artefacts and a centre of Kashubian culture, particularly the Kashubian language. Those interested in regional culture and language will find another way to explore the wider destination here.
Another way to discover Neustadt is the Szlak Nut Kaszubskich. Fifteen pedestals featuring fragments of a traditional counting rhyme form a route through different parts of the city, passing its main sights. The individual installations may change. Models of the city and Kalwaria Wejherowska are also on display in the historic town hall.
Exhibitions also explore the region’s history: the Książnica prof. Gerarda Labudy has a permanent exhibition on the history of the Kashubians. At the Muzeum Piaśnickie, the permanent exhibition spans two floors. Using the Piaśnica crime as an example, it commemorates the victims of the Pomeranian crimes; relics of the Piaśnica crime are located in the basement.
