For a stay in Nowe Kawkowo, you can focus on three distinct experiences: lavender and everyday objects at the Jacek Olędzki Living Lavender Museum, creative classes at Galeria Kawkowo, and a cycling route that passes through the town as part of a longer journey through several places. This can help you choose: would you like to explore exhibitions, pursue a creative interest yourself, or experience Nowe Kawkowo as part of a cycling tour? The three options differ both in their content and in how you plan for them.

Lavender and everyday life at the museum

The Jacek Olędzki Living Lavender Museum is housed in an old cottage. Everyday objects from earlier times and items related to lavender are on display there. The permanent exhibition shows techniques for growing lavender and the different ways the plant can be used. If you are interested in how lavender is grown and used, you can focus on this aspect; the other exhibits offer another way into the subject. Check the current visiting options before your visit.

A cycling route through several places

For cyclists, the route is clearly defined: the 28-kilometre cycle path runs from Jonkowo via Łomy, Nowe Kawkowo, Szałstry and Węgajty, and back to Jonkowo. Nowe Kawkowo is therefore a place the route passes through, with both the start and return point in Jonkowo. The stated distance refers to the entire route. This makes the tour a separate element to consider in your plans, rather than a short loop within Nowe Kawkowo. The sequence of places helps you understand the route. Check the current route and conditions before setting out.

Ceramics and creative workshops

Galeria Kawkowo offers classes in alternative ceramic firing techniques such as RAKU and sagar, as well as workshops in painting, sculpture and batik. The subjects differ: RAKU and sagar are specific ceramic firing techniques, while the workshops introduce other artistic fields. If you are interested in ceramics, you can ask specifically about the relevant classes; if you prefer another creative subject, painting, sculpture and batik offer concrete options. Ask Galeria Kawkowo directly in advance about the availability of classes and workshops.

How planning differs

When choosing, the planning involved is just as important as the subject: the permanent exhibition offers an ongoing focus, you should check with the gallery about taking part in classes and workshops, and the cycle path should be considered a 28-kilometre route through several places. This can help you decide whether to centre your stay on a museum visit, an available creative activity or a longer cycling tour.
