Introducing Kruszwica
Set on the northern end of Lake Gopło, Kruszwica (kroosh-fee-tsah) existed from at least the 8th century as a fortified village of the Goplanie, one of the Slav tribes living in the area. The Goplanie were eventually wiped out by the Polanie, forerunners of the medieval Poles, who made considerably more of a mark on history.

Today Kruszwica is an undistinguished, small industrial town notable for its remnants of the Piast legacy and a few strange legends about the region’s early days.
