Museums
On the eastern edge of the Darżlubska Forest, about 10 km west of Puck, the Slavic Settlement has operated since 18 April 2015 — a reconstruction of an early medieval stronghold from the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries. A palisade, wooden gates and smoking huts evoke the times before Christianisation, and the tales of guides and the settlement's "inhabitants" turn a visit into a living history lesson.
The settlement consists of 8 huts surrounded by a 400 m long palisade with three defensive gates. Stone circles and barrows stand within the stronghold, and inside the huts await everyday objects and tools from the workshops of an amber craftsman, a saddler and a baker. There are also archery stands and an educational path.
Wooden sculptures introduce the world of Slavic deities: Perun of the thunderbolts and Dadźbóg, the sun god. Stories about Marzanna explain the custom of her springtime drowning, while talks on herbalism, weaponry and old cuisine round off the craft workshops.
The settlement lies on the outskirts of the village of Sławutowo in the Puck commune, at the edge of the forest. Combine a visit with a walk in the Darżlubska Forest and other spots around Puck Bay; current opening hours and ticket prices are best confirmed before arrival.
