Góra Szwedów, Historical sand dune in Hel Peninsula, Poland.
The Góra Szwedów rises 19 meters above sea level on the eastern end of Mierzeja Helska, near the Baltic Sea coast.
In 1628, Polish forces captured a stranded Swedish warship Christine near this location, leading to a battle that gave the dune its name.
The dune contains remnants of military fortifications that reflect the maritime conflicts between Polish and Swedish forces in the Baltic region.
A walking trail leads to the summit, offering views of the Baltic Sea, coastal dunes, and surrounding forest landscapes.
The abandoned lighthouse built in 1936 on top of the dune operated for 54 years before its decommission in 1990.
