Nowe Kawkowo
Accommodation in Nowe Kawkowo
When planning a holiday in Nowe Kawkowo, three different interests come together: the Jacek Olędzki Living Lavender Museum displays everyday objects from the past and items related to lavender; a 28-kilometre cycling route passes through the area, and courses and workshops are associated with Galeria Kawkowo. This means the options range from exhibition themes to a cycling route and creative hands-on activities. You can choose the focus of your stay based on whether you are more interested in culture, cycling or a practical creative activity.

Lavender and everyday objects at the museum
The Jacek Olędzki Living Lavender Museum is located in an old cottage. It exhibits everyday objects from the past and items related to lavender. This combination gives the museum two perspectives: on the everyday culture of earlier times and on lavender as a theme of the wider exhibition. The permanent exhibition explores the plant-related aspect in greater depth, covering cultivation techniques and the various ways the plant can be used. The content therefore ranges from exhibited objects to cultivation and use. If you are wondering whether the museum focuses more on everyday history or knowledge about plants, the answer is: both, but in different parts of the exhibition.
Cycling a 28-kilometre loop
The 28-kilometre cycling route runs from Jonkowo through Łomy, Nowe Kawkowo, Szałstry and Węgajty, and back to Jonkowo. This means the route starts and ends in Jonkowo, with Nowe Kawkowo as one of the places along the loop. The distance and the sequence of places provide two practical points of reference: the stated distance and the places along the route. This makes it easy to understand the route as a ride through several places, returning to Jonkowo. Unlike the museum, the choice here depends less on an exhibition theme than on a clearly defined cycling route. If cycling is important to your trip, you can use the distance and order of places as reference points for your own planning.
Ceramics, painting and other workshops
Galeria Kawkowo is associated with courses in alternative ceramic firing techniques such as RAKU and sagar, as well as workshops in painting, sculpture and batik. Ceramic firing is therefore one of several creative topics. The focus differs both from the museum exhibits and from the cycling route: here, the emphasis is on courses and workshops, not exhibition content or a route. If you are interested in one of these offerings, check its availability directly with the provider. That way, you can include a specific course topic in your plans without assuming it will be offered on your preferred dates.
Plan your stay around your interests
When looking for a holiday apartment in Nowe Kawkowo, it helps to first decide what kind of trip you want. Would you rather focus your interests on lavender and everyday objects, explore a 28-kilometre cycling route, or take part in a creative course? This question makes the focus of your holiday more concrete: the museum, cycling route and workshop each have a different subject and planning consideration. If you are travelling with people who have different interests, you can consider which of these options matters most to your group. Then tailor your search for a holiday apartment to the kind of stay you have in mind.
