In winter, the Baltic Sea has something that you can't book in summer, namely almost empty beaches, quiet promenades, and forest paths free from crowds.
Norda is Kaszubian North, the most seaside part of Kashubia. Here, instead of lakes and hills typical of the inland region, you'll find cliffs, wide beaches, lighthouses, and ports. In winter, Norda becomes a refuge for those seeking lazy mornings and breakfasts combined with fresh air and winter sunshine outside the window.
Families spending their winter holidays here appreciate the space and carefree afternoons in nature, where you don't have to worry about the proximity of cars, trams, and city noise. If you dream of a winter trip in comfortable conditions, with good food nearby and attractions within a short trip, our Apartments in Jastrzębia Góra are a great base for exploring Kashubia in winter.

Kashubia in winter: why is it worth it, especially for holidays?
If you want to truly relax, the winter Baltic Sea is a great choice for several reasons. Norda off-season is quiet and peaceful, which provides a true reset from the chaos of everyday rush.
Besides, the proximity of forests, cliffs, and empty beaches naturally calms and soothes.
Thirdly, Norda and the entire Kashubia region are a treasure trove of cultural delights. Literally and figuratively. Especially off-season, there is time to taste local culture and cuisine in an intimate way, without crowds.
All this makes Northern Kashubia a dream destination for holidays for families, couples, remote workers, and guests from the Czech Republic or Germany who want to experience what “quiet Baltic” sounds like off-season.
