Vistula Spit Landscape Park

The Vistula Spit Landscape Park is a protected area along the Baltic coast where forests meet wetlands and sandy beaches. Its habitat supports hundreds of bird and plant species that create a working ecosystem visitors can observe throughout the seasons.

The area began as fishing settlements along the lagoon, then transformed into a protected zone to safeguard its natural habitats. This shift from human resource use to conservation has allowed the landscape to recover and sustain its biodiversity.

Fishing families who settled here generations ago still practice their craft on the lagoon, shaping how the landscape is used today. Walking through the villages, you can see how daily routines revolve around the water and the rhythms of the sea.

The park has marked trails, viewing platforms, and visitor centers positioned at access points with parking nearby. Walking or biking slowly through the area helps you see more wildlife and gives time to notice the changing landscapes.

A reserved section of roughly 14 hectares (35 acres) was set aside specifically for black cormorants and grey herons. Watching these large water birds dive and fish becomes one of the most absorbing activities for visitors spending time here.
