Fodor's Expert Review Muzeum Puszczy Kampinoskiej
Puszcza Kampinoska
In the village of Granica, near Kampinos and Żelazowa Wola, you'll find the Muzeum Puszczy Kampinoskiej: a small and somewhat dusty museum in a lovely wooden villa, explaining both the local fauna and flora, and the local history. It contains mementoes from the times of the January Uprising (1863, against the Russian Empire) and World War II. Although the museum was established in the 1960s, the building itself is older: a lovely sample of the Polish "vernacular style," typical folk-inspired, wooden architecture of 1920s. The museum is a good starting point for a walk in the woods of the Kampinos National Park.
