Gmina Sztutowo

Gmina Sztutowo is a rural municipality along the Baltic Sea coast in Pomeranian Voivodeship. The area spans around 10,749 hectares, with forests and water bodies making up two-thirds of the territory.

The area took shape through natural processes as sea currents and the Vistula River deposited sand and silt, forming today's Vistula Spit. This gradual shaping by river and coastal forces created the region's distinctive geography.

The Stutthof Museum Memorial Site here documents World War II events and draws visitors seeking to engage with this period. The memorial preserves structures and evidence that holds the local past for future generations to understand.

A fishing port and passenger dock at Katy Rybackie serve as key access points for visitors and local activity. A network of canals through the Vistula Delta connects this area to inland waterways.

The largest cormorant nature reserve in Poland sits within this territory, highlighting the region's importance for bird life. The wide sandy beaches in Stutthof and Katy Rybackie provide ideal nesting and resting grounds for these seabirds.
