SCENIC CHARACTER
This old fishermen village established in the 13thcentury on the west coast of the Vistula Lagoon provides beautiful sandy beaches. Kąty Rybackie is the place where you can relax breathing fresh air. You may admire unbelievably beautiful fishermen houses with roofs covered with the reed taken from the Vistula Lagoon’s shore. The biggest European ornithological reserve of black cormorant and grey heron gives the impression of the place untouched by the civilization. The location between Sztutowo and Krynica Morska favours a far better understanding of the charms of preserved nature of the whole Vistula Spit.
