How do the Morsiki tours differ?
The quest “Szlakiem Mieleńskich Morsików” runs through Gąski, Sarbinowo, Chłopy, Mielenko and Mielno-Unieście, and follows the Velo Baltica, where Morsiki monuments stand. A cycling tour with the same name runs from Gąski to Mielno and starts beside the lighthouse. Along the way, participants learn where the names of the Morsiki placed along the route come from and discover other interesting sites on the route.
