The area of Bia艂a G贸ra, once fenced with barbed wire, served as a training ground for Hitler's navy.

After 1945, the area was taken over by the Polish army and built permanent artillery batteries to defend the Baltic coast.

How to get to Bia艂a G贸ra?

The artillery positions are located on the black trail from Mi臋dzyzdroje. You can get here either from the forest parking lot in Kwasowo (about 30 min.) or from the beach side (last eastern beach entrance), through Kawcza G贸ra (30-40 min).

On the trail itself, the path is comfortable and wide, but to get here we have to climb a hill - it will be easier from the Kwasowo parking lot side, but even here we start with stairs... If we carry a stroller over them, it will be easy afterwards.

The positions can also be seen from the beach, the sea is increasingly claiming them... How long will they resist?

Note! Remember that Bia艂a G贸ra is located in the Wolin National Park, which means that all "park" restrictions apply, including the prohibition of dogs.
