Nowe Kawkowo

The Jacek Olędzki Living Lavender Museum is housed in an old cottage. Exhibits include everyday objects from earlier times and items related to lavender; the permanent exhibition also covers cultivation techniques and the plant’s uses. Galeria Kawkowo offers courses in ceramic firing techniques, as well as workshops in painting, sculpture, and batik. A 28-kilometer cycling route runs from Jonkowo via Łomy, Nowe Kawkowo, Szałstry, and Węgajty, before returning to Jonkowo.

The museum brings together two subject areas: everyday objects from earlier times and items related to lavender. The exhibition therefore features both objects from daily life in the past and a collection connected with the plant. The permanent exhibition complements these objects with information about cultivation techniques and the plant’s various uses.

If you are interested in lavender, the exhibition covers topics ranging from cultivation to possible uses. The everyday objects provide a separate focus. This lets you think about your museum visit in two ways: through the plant and its uses, or through objects from earlier ways of life.

Galeria Kawkowo offers courses in alternative ceramic firing techniques such as RAKU and sagar. There are also workshops in painting, sculpture, and batik. The range thus extends from a distinctive type of ceramic firing to several artistic disciplines. If you are interested in one of these activities, check availability directly with the provider before including it in your travel plans.

When choosing activities based on your personal interests, you can consider the subjects separately: ceramic firing, painting, sculpture, and batik offer cultural points of interest alongside the exhibits at the lavender museum. This makes it easier to decide which activities matter most for your trip, without combining the different offerings into a single program item.

The cycling route described is 28 kilometers long. It starts in Jonkowo, goes via Łomy to Nowe Kawkowo, and continues via Szałstry and Węgajty before returning to Jonkowo. Nowe Kawkowo is one stop along the way; the stated distance applies to the entire route, not just the section through the village.

For planning, this sequence is especially useful: you can see which places are on the route and that it returns to Jonkowo. This distinguishes it from a one-way ride to Nowe Kawkowo. If you want to include culture and cycling in your trip, you can consider the museum and gallery separately from route planning and decide how to prioritize them based on your interests.

First, consider what you want your trip to focus on: the exhibitions and cultural themes, a workshop offered by Galeria Kawkowo, or the 28-kilometer cycling route. Workshop availability is part of the practical planning and should be confirmed directly with the provider.
