Kluki
Accommodation in Kluki
Kluki lies on the southwestern shore of Lake Łebsko. The settlements developed in a scattered pattern on sandy, dry rises between lower-lying areas that are wet and rich in peat. This landscape and the village’s history give the place its distinctive character. You can choose from several focal points when planning your trip: the former way of life at the Muzeum Wsi Słowińskiej, the only surviving Slovincian cemetery, Czarne Wesele, which opens the tourist season, and a longer hiking trail along the southern shore of the lake.
Village history at the Muzeum Wsi Słowińskiej
The Muzeum Wsi Słowińskiej w Klukach presents the lives of the village’s former residents in ten permanent exhibitions. The period covered spans from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries to the mid-20th century. This focuses on a clearly defined period in the village’s history, spanning several decades. If you are interested in the lives of former residents, you will find a cultural history focus here for your stay.
Visitors can also explore the interiors of residential houses and farm buildings. A museum visit therefore includes both the themes of the permanent exhibitions and a glimpse inside these two types of building. Residential houses and farm buildings offer different points of connection if you would like to learn about life in the village in the past.
Czarne Wesele and peat cutting
Czarne Wesele opens the tourist season in Kluki and has been held there since 1995. During the event, museum visitors can try peat cutting for themselves. This gives the occasion a distinctive hands-on element: alongside learning about the village’s history, visitors can try an activity for themselves. If you would like to learn about cultural history in ways other than through exhibitions, this event offers another way to explore Kluki.
Hiking trail by Lake Łebsko
If you would rather get to know Kluki over a longer distance and through its landscape, you can consider the 39 km hiking trail. It runs along the southern side of Lake Łebsko via Żarnowska, Gać, Izbica and Kluki to Smołdzino. The overall length is an important factor in planning your own day and trip. Kluki is one stop on a route that connects several places, making this a very different option from a stay focused on the museum or cemetery.
A distinctive historical landmark
The cemetery in Kluki is the only surviving Slovincian cemetery. Alongside the museum, it offers a distinct historical focus and broadens the perspective on the history of the place. If you are interested in Slovincian heritage, you can include the cemetery as a separate point of interest in your trip plans.
