| Page Views: 2,107 Last Visit to Kolbudy: August, 2005 | A stone's throw away from Gdansk by matcrazy1 - last update: Dec 6, 2005 |
Kolbudy is a village located in northern Poland, only 15 km southwest of Gdansk and 25 km from sandy beaches of the Baltic Sea. This historical region is called Kashubia. The natives, called Kashubians, write and speak own language for centuries. It's the only one of Slavic languages used in the area of contemporary Poland that is very difficult to understand by Poles.

Hotel VIP But not the very interesting Kashubian culture brought me to Kolbudy. I unexpectadly got two free tickets for a concert "Space of Freedom" of Jean Michel Jarre in Gdansk shipyard at the 25th anniversary of the Solidarity Movement. I had unsuccessfully called to numerous hotels, hostels and pensions in Gdansk to book a room. Hmm... I was at least a few weeks too late. Finally, thanks to coincidence, internet and help of the staff of one hotel in Gdansk, I found and immediatelly booked a room in Hotel VIP in Kolbudy. |
The lake and windsurfing I was surprised to discover a beautiful lake, to see windsurfers and local fishermen. I've found peace and quiet just a stone's throw away from Gdansk. |

Very interesting little page on Kolbudy. I bet I could find a lot of birds there, if the dogs haven't chased then away. Yje hotel sounds like a good place to go if you want to hide. | Jim_Eliason Sat Dec 2, 2006 17:56 UTC

Just finished touring your travelogues. Makes me want to sit out on that dock in the sunshine and let the world go by. | Mariajoy Tue Dec 20, 2005 06:44 UTC
