Boat trips from Krynica Morska
evaanna Says: If you visit Krynica Morska in the summer months, you can take three kinds of boat trips from there: to Frombork, where Copernicus lived, worked and died, to Elblag and to Kaliningrad in Russia. You can only join the latter if you get the Russian visa in advance. We were in...
Fishing port on the Vistula Bay at Piaski
evaanna Says: The fishing port on the Vistula Bay at Piaski is much more elaborate than the one on the open sea, which is probably due to the fact that fishing in the bay is safer. What looks in the picture like wigwams are poles used for stretching the fishing nets, drying in the sun....
The fishing harbours at Krynica Morska
evaanna Says: Krynica Morska has two fishing harbours, one on the side of the bay with a proper pier and the other on the side of the open sea. Here the fishermen face higher waves and the boats are just pulled onto the shore by a jeep. The place is alive with the commotion and just...
Piaski or Nowa Karczma (the New Inn)
evaanna Says: The traditional name of Piaski - the last village on the Polish side of the Vistula peninsula east of Krynica Morska - was Nowa Karczma ( the New Inn). That name derives from an inn that existed here already in the Middle Ages when in 1429 a knight of the Teutonic Order,...

The beach and fishing port at Piaski
evaanna Says: To get from Piaski to the beach you must cross the forest. It's a walk of about 900 m uphill, quite steep at places as the forest grows on a dune but the wood is so beautiful and full of birds that it can make up for the effort. It's a dirt road closed to traffic but not to...

Be careful when using your mobile phone!

evaanna Says: If you go for a walk on the beach at Piaski, after about 3 km you will see the remains of net wire fencing and the sign "Granica panstwa" (state frontier). Don't even try to go on if you don't want to meet with the Russian border guards as such a meeting could be quite...
evaanna Says: As soon as we arrived at Piaski, which is formally part of Krynica Morska, our landlady said she had to warn us about something: there were some wild boar running the village streets!Then she added hastily they were so tame you could feed them from your hand. Just mind...
