Worth seeing

  • The biggest attraction in this area is 44 meters high (according to some sources 41 meters) and can be seen from a distance. It's a lookout tower Kashubian Eye. But the most important thing is the view from her, not at her. When we take the elevator to the viewing platform or climb 212 steps, we will see from there with the naked eye The Baltic Sea or the buildings of an unfinished nuclear power plant. In nice weather, walking on a healthy, moderately fit person will not impress. But if the wind blows a little, it all seems to tip over under the pressure of the wind. Only sailors are used to such sounds.
  • The village connects with Kashubian Eye the road with a clock that measures the time to the beginning of the championship. Of course, it is ... At the end of the road we reach a high embankment visible from a distance. Only from the tower you can see that it is the upper lake of the pumped storage plant. There is a football roundabout in front of the embankment. Its patron is the legendary coach of the Polish Eagles, Kazimierz Górski.
