Way of life

Many locals devote every spare moment to pursuing their passions. For some, passion has evolved into a profession, and such transitions often yield interesting results.

Of particular prominence are collections of vintage cars, motor scooters, bicycles, and historic military vehicles.  Local stamp collectors have also earned national renown due to not only their priceless collections of postage stamps, but also thanks to their organisational talents which they use to organise regular exhibitions.

The work and dedication of local history enthusiasts is constantly broadening our knowledge about the history of the town and the region. There are also residents passionate about fostering knightly traditions, as well as those who love horse riding. The global fame of Gostyń’s manufacture of britzkas has certainly contributed to the special affection for horses in the region.

The thrill of exploration, the satisfaction of expanding a collection with one-of-a-kind item, the fulfilment of one’s dreams — enthusiasts, hobbyists, and adventurers know the magic behind these experiences. At such moments life seems to acquire a new quality.
