Kaszuby: Homeland of The Kashubians

The Kashubians reside in North Central area of Poland that is very diverse in landscape. Because Kaszuby is a thin strip of land that goes from the shores of the Baltic Sea in the North down South into Poland there are many different types of terrain that are covered. The Northern area of the territory is lined with sandy shores and flat land. As you travel down into Poland there are many lakes and forests and is referred to by some as, "The Sweden of Poland." A great example of this is Wdydze Landscape Park which covers 17,800 hectares, 11% of which is water.
