An open-air museum inside a working village on Lake Łebsko - twenty Slovincian timber-frame cottages record the life of a Pomeranian people who no longer exist. Among the exhibits: klumpy, wooden shoes for horses so they wouldn't sink into the peat.
Kluki is a village that still works - under a hundred permanent residents, a church, a shop, bread ovens. In its oldest quarter sits an open-air museum: more than twenty original timber-frame cottages and farm buildings across ten hectares, recording the life of the Slovincians - a small Kashubian-Pomeranian group whose language and identity faded by the mid-20th century after post-war resettlements.
The paddocks hold heavy-draft horses, sheep, a goat, and poultry. Interior exhibits in the cottages show village life at the turn of the 20th century - the oldest house dates from the late 1700s and preserves a rare chimney-kitchen fire system. Cases display the klumpy - wooden horseshoes that let horses cross peat bogs and wet meadows without sinking.
The season opens with the Black Wedding (Czarne Wesele) on 1-3 May - a staged Slovincian wedding - and closes with the Farewell to Summer on the third Sunday of September. June through August: Tue-Sun until 18:00; the rest of the year until 16:00; Mondays are free but only one farmstead is open. Closed December through January. Tickets PLN 24 / reduced PLN 18. Dogs must be leashed and muzzled and aren't allowed inside the cottages (guide dogs excepted).
