Kępa Redłowska

Kępa Redłowska is a protected nature reserve along the Kashubian Coast featuring steep cliffs that overlook the Baltic Sea and inland beech forests. The terrain contains several distinct plant zones shaped by coastal and forest conditions.

The area was designated as the first protected nature site in the former Gdańsk Voivodeship in the 1950s. This early protection represented an important step in establishing organized conservation efforts across the region.

The reserve is known among nature enthusiasts for hosting rare plant species adapted to coastal cliff conditions. Visitors walking through these areas notice how specific plants grow together in distinct communities across the landscape.

The reserve is accessible from Gdynia via marked hiking trails with several viewpoint stops overlooking the coastal cliffs. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the paths can be uneven and slippery during or after rain.

The site displays striking examples of marine erosion processes where the sea continuously wears away and reshapes the cliffs. Careful observation reveals how this natural process transforms the landscape gradually over time.
