Hel

Hel is a town on the tip of the Peninsula. It is a renowned sea-bathing place and holiday resort, very fashionable in the period between the world wars. The seaside specificity of Hel is determined by several dozen of kilometers of beaches, white and grey sand-dunes as well as dune flora like the Sea holly for example.

Stripes of pine forest diversify the way to the beach. It is an ideal place for all those who dream of relaxation, sea and sun baths as water surrounds Hel from three sides. Tourist attractions include the lighthouse, which is a breathtaking and long-lasting in the memory viewing point in Hel, the Museum of Fishery located in a historic former-evangelical Church of Peter and Paul situated near the town centre next to the harbour and the fishing harbour, which was built in 1882-1883 by the Prussian government, originally the cutter and fishing boats harbour was protected by a breakwater of a wooden construction which took the area of today’s internal reservoir. But the most popular place in Hel is also the sealarium in the basin of the sealarium grey seals that used to be the most common specie of seals living in the region of the south Baltic Sea found their asylum. The specie died out almost entirely because of intense and long-lasting hunting. [Outside Gdansk]
