VISIT THE GDANSK REGION

The diversity of the landscape around Gdańsk is quite surprising. Gdańsk has three neighboring regions: Kaszuby (Kashubia), Kociewie and Żuławy. Each with its own distinct identity.
In addition, there is the coast with its landscape that is difficult to overestimate (this is the case for most of the coasts all over the world;)

… Fortune sometimes shines more than once. There has been a revolution in the popularity and wealth of these regions. Is it final? What can determine the next "recoveries"?

Each of these regions had its own communities, traditions and a different language or dialect. The influence of the Mennonite settlement in Żuławy was strong (since the 16th century), because although their number never exceeded 15% of the local population and they did not integrate with the native people, as Protestants they have created working models, the reproduction of which has led to non-Mennonite successes in life.

The stories of human life against the backdrop of everyday life are fascinating when observed through the prism of time and region.
