Archaeology

A group of megalithic tombs called Polish Pyramids or Kuyavian Pyramids have been found in the adjacent forest. They are elongated mounds with a length of up to 150 metres (490 ft) and a height of 2–3 metres (7–10 ft), probably belonging to Funnelbeaker culture, 4000 years BC.[2][3][4]
