Złe Mięso, Village in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
Złe Mięso is a village situated along the northern edge of the Tuchola Forest in Pomeranian Voivodeship. The settlement sits roughly 70 kilometers southwest of Gdańsk and remains home to about 200 residents today.
The settlement was first recorded in German documents in 1480 as Boszfleyth and underwent several name changes over the centuries. The current Polish name became established by around 1664.
The name means "bad meat" in Polish, rooted in local stories about a medieval innkeeper and events at a riverside inn. These tales continue to shape how the place is known among residents and visitors.
The village is administratively part of Gmina Czersk in Chojnice County and is best reached by car via regional roads. The surrounding forest landscape provides good opportunities for walks and natural exploration.
Archaeological excavations from 1994 revealed continuous human habitation in the area dating back roughly 6000 years to the Neolithic period. These findings show that people have lived here far longer than the written records suggest.
