There are many places in Poland which once witnessed crucial events in Polish history but now remain in oblivion. One of such places is Cedynia...

Usually, the town fleetingly visited by tourists will host the Meeting with History in Cedynia on the 20th - 22nd of June 2008. The event will reenact one of the most significant victories of the Polish army.
