MRZEŻYNO – DŹWIRZYNO – KOŁOBRZEG – UTRONIE MORSKIE – GĄSKI – SARBINOWO – MIELNO

ROUTE 100 km

Mrzeżyno, Dźwirzyno - similar names and surroundings - beach as far as the eye can see. In Mrzeżyno there is a monument with a commemorative plaque dedicated to the wedding of Poland with the Baltic Sea on March 17, 1945

The Miller's Palace, now a museum, attracts attention. Just one more walk through the streets and we trot back to the car - it's really cold today.

Sławno, which is a bit out of the way, also stopped us for a moment. It is better not to enter the very center (behind the entrance gates - traffic/tonnage restrictions). In front of the Słupsk Gate - or maybe Koszalin Gate, looking at the directions :) a few years ago, sculptures "in the footsteps of the Saints" were placed - there are also several sculptures in the market square. Overall, it's a small town, but we remember it quite fondly.

Ahead of us is the "mighty" Słupsk. You can even park in the market square - the paid parking zone is large. As usual, there are several churches in the center.

But not only. From the market square, along the promenade (Nowobramska), we will reach the historic tram.

We turn in the other direction - to the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle. In this light, we couldn't get enough of it and the nearby castle mill.

On the river we will encounter the Witches' Tower, which aroused fear half a century ago. The tower was an element of the defensive walls surrounding the town located on the Słupia River.

The buildings on the other side are reflected in the water - it's beautiful :)

USTKA – JAROSŁAWIEC – DARŁOWO – DARŁÓWEK – JAMNO

ROUTE 95km

Ustka turned out to be a nice place even in winter. Of course, the first thing we looked at was the beach - almost the same as on the entire Polish seaside - sand, breakwaters, water :)

We walked along the promenade to the lighthouse, which is said to be haunted by a ghost which, according to the lighthouse keepers, calms down when tourists enter it.

The port is temporarily quiet - if you want to walk to the other side, you can - a bridge is laid every hour during the day for 15 minutes :)

Near the port there are also the oldest buildings in the city (18th century), and a little further there are red warehouses. We go back through the park near the red villa, the monument and the waterfront again.

The sea surroundings of Jarosławiec are apparently treacherous, which is why there has been a lighthouse guiding fishermen here for almost 200 years.

Darłowo is a few kilometers from the sea. Instead of water, we were greeted by ubiquitous birds - almost like from Hitchcock :)

In addition to them, it is worth visiting the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle in Darłowo, the local market square and the surrounding remains of the city walls with the High Gate? If 2.2 m of clearance is high :D

To see the sea and, of course, the lighthouse, you have to go to Darłówko. Both parts are connected by a bridge by the sea. It may be winter, but we don't necessarily want to stay on the other side. The bridge on Wieprza is being moved.

We just go around Lake Jamno - there are plenty of campsites on the spit - where it flows into the sea, they are currently building fortifications.

The donkey puts hooves here and there…. he just travels the world. We travel in a small camper, if we can get there by car - we will get there, if not - we will try it on foot. Our trips are not boring, we have some more or less adventure almost every day. We get to know landscapes, monuments, people, and then we describe it on the blog with a pinch of humor ...
