The Tatar Trail (Polish: Szlak Tatarski) in eastern Poland features two marked routes that trace the cultural and historical presence of the Lipka Tatar community. Whether on foot, by bike, or by car, the trail leads through a unique landscape dotted with Tatar mosques, Orthodox churches, historic synagogues, and traditional wooden architecture, all set against the backdrop of ancient, wild forests.
You can find the map of the trail here.
Biblioteka Tatarska is an online resource for anyone curious about the history, culture, and everyday life of the Tatar Muslim community in Poland — especially if you read Polish (or are on good terms with online translators). It hosts a growing digital collection of books, magazines, press clippings, and archival materials all about the Tatars. Run by the Supreme Muslim College of the Muslim Religious Union in Poland, the site is a valuable tool for research.
Ansambl Peregrinus is a music ensemble from Wrocław, known for its work in reconstructing traditional Tatar music. For over five years, the group collaborated with the Supreme Muslim College of the Muslim Religious Union in the Republic of Poland to revive ancient and contemporary Tatar melodies. Using old Russian and Tatar songbooks, they created a repertoire based on traditional tunes from Crimea, Tatarstan, and Bashkiria.
