Landscape Park ‘Vistula Spit’
It was created in 1985 and covers the area of Spit from Sztutowo to the border with the Russian Federation. Its total area covers 4 410 hectares, out of which 75% is occupied by forests.
The park’s attractiveness is influenced by the occurrence of dune hills with irregular shapes. The highest dune- Camel Back – located east of Krynica Morska rises to a height of 49 meters. One of the undeniable attractions is the active cliff around Piaski Village.
Vistula Spit was formerly covered with deciduous trees (alder, linden, oak, maple). Uncontrolled felling the trees caused deforestation this area. Such situation contributed to the movement of sand dunes that migrated toward the Vistula Lagoon and flooded villages. Plants and trees (mostly pines) were planted to prevent dunes. The best host on the sandy ground was pine (mixed with beech, oak, alder and birch) which now reigns on the Spit. There are two nature reserves within the Landscape Park: Kąty Rybackie and Buki of the Vistula Spit. Values of this land are known and used for a long time for medical and recreational facilities.
The commune of Sztutowo is surrounded by the waters on each side. Therefore it was necessary to build many hydraulic structures such as a drawbridge in Sztutowo, pump stations in Kobyla Kępa and Grochowo, ports in Kąty Rybackie which enable the citizens to move around the area on everyday basis. Additionally there are interesting attractions for tourists.
One can find discarded pieces of Baltic amber on the beach. A lot of amber can be collected after a strong storm. The most valuable specimens contain an insect inside. In our municipality there are several workshops on processing amber. Amber is best viewed with a silver frame.
