Gmina Stegna, Rural municipality in Nowy Dwór Gdański County, Poland.
Gmina Stegna is a rural municipality comprising several settlements along the Baltic Sea near the Vistula Delta. The area is characterized by wide sandy beaches, dunes covered with pine forests, and visible amber deposits in the terrain.
The municipality emerged as an administrative district during Poland's restructuring as part of the Pomeranian integration. Its development was shaped by agricultural activities and later by proximity to the Baltic coast.
The local communities here maintain maritime traditions through festivals that celebrate fishing heritage and the connection to the sea. These customs shape daily life in the coastal villages and reflect the strong bond between residents and their environment.
The villages are accessible via local roads that pass through flat terrain leading to the coast. The best time to visit is from late spring through early autumn when coastal paths are accessible and weather is mild.
The territory is crisscrossed by a network of waterways connecting the Baltic Sea to inland routes through the Vistula Delta. These natural channels allow boat travel through different ecosystems and offer views of a largely unaltered delta landscape.
