Krynica Morska

Krynica Morska, formerly known as Kahlberg, is a small town in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, located on the Vistula Spit. It is a popular tourist destination with a seaport, four marinas, and a summer bathing area. The town has a rich history dating back to the years 1258–1282, when the first records of settlement appeared. Krynica Morska gained significance in the 19th century when tourists began to arrive, and the construction of infrastructure such as roads and a lighthouse allowed for the development of a spa resort. In 1945, the town was liberated from German occupation. The name Krynica Morska was adopted in 1958, and the town became an urban municipality in 1991. Krynica Morska is part of the "Vistula Spit" Landscape Park and includes protected areas, making it attractive to nature lovers. It is worth mentioning the Wielbłądzi Grzbiet (Camel's Back), the highest dune on the Vistula Spit, and the Parish Church of St. Peter the Apostle. Krynica Morska is not only a summer holiday destination but also an important point on Poland's tourist map, offering sailing opportunities and the chance to admire beautiful landscapes. During the summer season, ferry connections to nearby towns are available, and the beach stretches for almost 2,000 meters. The town offers a variety of accommodation options, attracting tourists. Krynica Morska also features unique historical monuments, such as the Soviet Soldiers' Cemetery and the Monument to the First Settlers, which provide insight into the local cultural context. Despite its dynamic development, Krynica Morska is one of the smallest towns in Poland in terms of population, but its rich cultural and tourist offerings make it an important destination on the country's tourist map.
