My name is Wieslaw Landowski. I live deep in the forest,
somewhere in north Poland (Tuchola Forest, we call it Bory
Tucholskie). For those who want to locate my place, it is Wysoka,
rather a small village, but does it care in the era of Internet?
Well, if You still want to know more, look below!

The Past of Cekcyn and ist
surroundings belongs to the history of the Gdansk Pomerania.
It was during the times of Prince Boleslaw Krzywousty, in
the beginning of the 12th century, that the Pomeranians were
expanding their territories in the southern direction. They
tried to cross the Notec River near Naklo, where they were
stopped by Boleslaw Krzywousty. All inhabitants of Pomerania
were baptised in those days. A castelany, including Cekcyn
and its neighbouring forests, was set up in Raciaz. The
first record about the village of Cekcyn dates back to the
end of the 13th century (1296). It records King Waclaw II
giving Cekcyn and 200 fines, as a dawry, to a Kalish
chancellor. |

computer. I can't simply sit and do nothing. I must be active. Years
ago I played chess, too. I think, I am still not the last.

English. I want it to be always an opened window for everybody. I
