Nature Reserve Helskie Wydmy, Nature reserve in Hel Peninsula, Poland
The Helskie Wydmy Reserve spans across sandy dunes and maritime habitats along the northern coast, protecting numerous plant and animal species in their native environment.
Scientists initiated research of coastal dune formations in this area during the early 1900s, leading to the establishment of protective measures for the ecosystem.
The reserve integrates with local maritime traditions, as generations of fishermen have lived and worked near these protected dunes throughout centuries.
Marked walking paths guide visitors through different sections of the reserve, with information boards explaining the local flora, fauna, and geological formations.
The reserve contains specific dune formations that move and change shape with coastal winds, creating new landscapes that researchers monitor throughout the year.
