Chojnice’s historic old town is home to townhouses, the market square, the Neo-Gothic town hall and a fountain. A prominent historic landmark is Brama Człuchowska: the square tower has six storeys and is built in the Pomeranian Gothic style. The Historical and Ethnographic Museum occupies six historic buildings along a preserved section of Chojnice’s medieval defensive walls.

The museum’s exhibition rooms are located in Brama Człuchowska. Across five floors, the museum presents permanent and changing thematic exhibitions. Visitors interested in the town’s history and regional topics can combine a museum visit with a look at the gate’s architecture and the historic buildings.

The Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary has three naves and a façade with two towers. Its late Baroque interior includes polychrome paintings by Franciszek Ksawery Haefflich. The church was built by Jesuits, who also founded a school in Chojnice. The Church of the Beheading of St John the Baptist offers another historical connection to the town: it was elevated to the status of a minor basilica on 11 March 1993.

At the Eksperymentarium, visitors can learn about the region’s history, nature and distinctive features through hands-on and playful activities. This complements the exhibitions with an approach centred on trying things out for yourself.

The Zaborski Landscape Park encompasses 48 lakes, including protected, exceptionally clear lobelia lakes and charophyte lakes. Hiking, cycling and nature trails provide access to the lakes. There are also various ways to explore the water: the Brda and its tributaries—the Chocina, Zbrzyca, Młosina and Kłonecznica—form a network of kayaking routes in the park.

For cycling trips, the Kaszubska Marszruta offers around 200 kilometres of completed cycle paths in Chojnice County. Another cycling route is 166 kilometres long and runs from Bydgoszcz via Rytel, Mylof, Drzewicz, Swornegacie and Bachorze to Chojnice. Those travelling on foot can consider the 55-kilometre Julian Rydzkowski Kashubian Trail, which runs from Chojnice via Chojniczki, Bachorze, Stara Piła, Męcikał and Giełdon to Wiele. In the wider region, the 45.4-kilometre Zbrzyca River Trail runs from Wiele via Lamk, Leśno, Rolbik, Laska and Śluza to the PTTK station at Lake Witoczno. The different route lengths and types make it easier to tailor your trip to your preferred focus: cycling, hiking or paddling.
