General information:
Krynica Morska is a fishing port and seaside resort situated on
Vistula Spit which is a narrow sandy peninsula between the waters
of the Gulf of Gdańsk and Vistula Lagoon. Population is about 1240.
The first written information about a fishing village located here
comes from 1424. Krynica Morska, from 1991 a town, earlier a village
formed 1865 from the communes of Liep (13th century fishing village
on the Vistula Lagoon) and Kahlberg. There are inn from the 15th
century and a postal station established in the 16th century. From
1815 it was a holiday resort built by a steam ship consortium from
Elbląg which promoted the construction of villas and manor houses
modelled on Greek architecture, which unfortunately did not survive.
In the second half of the 19th century the most popular type of
architecture was a cross between a Swiss moutain chalet and a
fisherman's cottage, today still to be seen along some streets.
After 1920 Krynica Morska lost its exclusive atmosphere. It was
then that fishermen's cottages with rooms to rent beame popular.
Major sights include: modern pension and villas, fishermen's and
summer cottages from 1850-1920, a lighthouse dating from 1951
(26,5m), and the Second World War cemetery.
From the side of Gulf of Gdańsk there are wooden piers and beach
harbour, 83m long, from which Baltic fishing boats are launched and
retrieved with a winch. From the side of Vistula Lagoon there is a
port with two basins. The passenger - yacht basin complex consists
of 110m long and 18m wide passenger pier, and a yacht wharf. Krynica
Morska serviced tourist traffic. In 1996 - 87,853 passengers took
trips onboard ships of the "white fleet" (1,068 ship visits)
to/from Krynica Morska.
Fishing basin has W quay 110m long, E quay 100m long and N quay 22m
long with depth of 2.0 to 2.5 m. Fishing basin has been completely
rebuilt in 1992 and became a harbour with the best technical condition
on Vistula Lagoon.
Sometimes, the boats from the beach harbour are transported by lorry
to the port on side of Vistula Lagoon for fishing during the season. |
