Is there a sea in Poland? To the north, on the shores of the Baltic Sea, there are coastal cities such as the beautiful Gdansk, the city of amber, or the spa town of Sopot, on the so-called Polish Riviera. When June arrives, temperatures rise, exceeding 20 or even touching 30 degrees and summer can extend into September.
This is Poland. From winter cold to the sun that hardly sleeps: Here summer is synonymous with plans in nature, beach, festivals, bike rides. In short, living the city or the beach in lively, cheerful and bustling streets and terraces.
If you like hiking, there are also mountains and endless trails in national parks to discover.
For a Pole, sending someone to hell is not a negative thing. On the contrary. It sounds like Hel, the peninsula that everyone wants to visit in the summer.
It is a very long 35-kilometre sandbank surrounded by the Baltic Sea, forming the Puck Bay. Fine sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters attract locals and tourists who enjoy the long days of light, when the sun sets after 9 pm. Administratively, it is part of the Pomeranian Voivodeship.
The peninsula has a variable width: from 300 metres at most to 100 metres at least. Winter storms in the Baltic may flood low-lying areas (forming temporary islets). In fact, until the 17th century there were such islets that only in summer did they form a chain of land.
At the tip of the peninsula is the seaside resort of Hel. To the south, it encloses most of the Puck Bay.
As well as beautiful beaches and pretty seaside resorts, history can be felt here. When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, the Polish garrison dynamited part of the peninsula, turning it into an island, before surrendering after 32 days of fighting.
Under the rule of the Third Reich, the peninsula was fortified and a heavy three-gun battery was built, and after the Soviet campaign in Pomerania and East Prussia in February-April 1945, thousands of German soldiers and civilians took refuge on the peninsula while Soviet forces advanced on land, until the Germans They capitulated.
Back under Polish rule, the peninsula was fortified until the 1950s, with additional cannons. After 1989, many of the fortifications and old artillery pieces have become tourist attractions, although some areas remain the property of the Polish armed forces.
A train runs across the peninsula every 30 minutes in both directions. Traveling from Gdansk to here takes a couple of hours, but it is a unique, unforgettable experience.
