THE CHLAPOWO RAVINE

First of all one should see the Chlapowo Ravine. It is located about 1 km from the camp site, in the direction of Rozewie. The ravine is called "Rudnik" by the Kashubes. The valley is a reserve which is a protected area belonging to the Seaside Landscape Park, however the beauty of this 24,83 hectare area is exceptional throughout the whole Baltic coast. The Chlapowo Ravine is worth seeing for the beauty of the picturesque valley, intact nature and such rare plant species as broom, juniper, sea buckthorn and wild fruit trees, but most of all the wonderful view of the sea cliff.

SEA LIGHTHOUSE IN ROZEWIE

The famous lighthouse was built in Rozewie by the lighthouse keeper Leon Wzorek. It is administered by the Marine Board in Gdynia and is open to the public. Two lighthouses still stand on the 54-metre-high cliff: the old lighthouse and the new one. The height of the lighthouse is 33 metres, which makes the distance of the light from the sea level to be 87 metres. The lighthouse emits flashes of light every 3 seconds. The light is seen from the sea (at clear visibility) at the distance of 23,4 nautical miles (1 mile = 1852 metres). The lighthouse is famous for a legend telling a story of Stefan Zeromski writing his novel "Wiatr od morza" up there. In fact, Stefan Zeromski visited the Rozewie lighthouse but his famous novel was written in Warsaw.
