The most eye-catching and the longest pier in Poland is also a favourite venue for entertaining events.

The first pier on this spot, with a length of 41m, was built in 1829 but then extended in stages until in 1910 it was 315m long. Initially it was used for mooring but with time was transformed into a very popular attraction. The present shape of the pier was achieved in 1927 and at 512m is the longest wooden pier in Europe.

DeleteHello Gosia, The water and sky are so blue and beautiful. The weather looks delightful for being out on the beach. I also enjoyed the history of the pier.

It is very nice pier.
DeleteThe pier is over half a kilometre long. Australia has some long piers, but I don't think we have a wooden one that long.
ReplyDeleteThis one is wooden and so nice for walking.
DeleteThat's really long! Such beautiful scenes along the beach with the intensely blue sky.
ReplyDeleteThe weather was perfect.
