In the Puck commune, close to the sea, there is the Cultural Park Settlement of seal hunters in Rzucewo. The settlement was a place of refuge for the split inhabitants in the Stone Age. Who were the tribes of seal hunters, how they lived, what they did, you can learn all about it on the educational trail “Trail of seal hunters”. The Kashubian Cottage, a viewing point and a small pier are part of the nature trail.
Archaeologically, the “Rzucewo culture” is included in the circle of the Corded Ware cultures. The ancient inhabitants of the Rzucewo Split were mainly engaged in fishing, hunting (including seal hunting), and amber processing. The settlement of seal hunters in Rzucewo was discovered by archaeologists in 1894.

For detectives
A visit to a mysterious castle, full of secrets. We are talking about the Teutonic Castle in Malbork. The story of the knights wearing white cloaks with a black cross, their customs, the vows they made when they joined the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the German House in Jerusalem is listened to with flushed cheeks.
A walk through the courtyards, chambers, exhibitions, especially on the Family Route dedicated to children, can satisfy their curiosity. Currently, the route is suspended, so it is worth checking the news on the website of the Castle Museum in Malbork before booking a ticket.
Reading the book “Mr. car and .. castle in Malbork” can be a good idea before coming to the largest brick castle in Europe.
