Fishing
03.09.2012
[start]
Świnoujście is considered a real fisherman's heaven. The local waters are home to innumerable species of freshwater, migratory and sea fish. This is where impressive specimens of sanders, breams and pike fish can be caught, especially in June and October., while the period from Spring to Autumn is best for perch and roach fishing. Indeed, 4-5 kg of these two species can be caught within as little as one hour. Eels floating down the Oder river basin are also frequently encountered at this time. Perches and burbots dominate at the turn of Autumn, together with flounders and plaices. You may also come across royal salmons and migratory Salmo trout, weighing up to 20 kg. In the shallow waters of the Świna strait, you can catch huge tench and crucian, both of the popular and silver type.
The more popular fishery areas are located in the Karsibór District, which houses fishing and riverside hostels. Przytor and Łunów are also worth visiting. The breakwaters at the Świna estuary, as well, will attract sea-loving fishermen. This area offers an exceptional fishing experience in going one on one with many species, including sea fish such as the viviparous eel-pout, the European flounder, and the garfish that appears only at the turn of the Spring herring season. If you are lucky enough, you will also spot shoals of herrings that can be caught in large numbers, using a bunch of fish-hooks or wet fly baits.
Fishing techniques, in the case of all predatory fish, make use of pilkers, twisters and animal baits, while Carp fishing involves a great variety of special baits as well. All this items are available in numerous fishing stores all over Świnoujście.
For both the hard-core and the occasional fisherman, there is a widely popular offering of summer fishing cruises in the Pomeranian Bay. These provide an exceptional opportunity to catch huge specimens of sanders, perches and breams, as well as flat fish and manta rays which are subject to strict protection. You may also encounter the common whitefish or the lumpfish.
Fishing from the beach, which combines sunbathing with active seaside recreation, will also provide an unforgettable experience. The best way to fish is to paddle across shallows, penetrating the water and the sea bottom with a heavy float-type fishing rod. Unfortunately, this fishing technique can only be employed in the summer period, with water temperatures exceeding 19 – 20 degrees. The best results are achieved right after sea storms.
When catching a fish specimen which is unknown to you, you should immediately release it back to the water. If you are interested in fishing in Świnoujście, we recommend a book by Wrzesław Mechło, entitled “The Nature of Pomeranian Islands” (the original Polish title: Przyroda pomorskich wysp), four chapters of which comprise a professional description of fishing equipment and techniques. The book also describes the great adventure which we experience while fishing.
Let us not forget that Świnoujście is a city located on the Baltic coast and on a few islands. It is full of forests, glades and many mysterious, gloomy yet attractive spots.
See you by the water!

Blue Flag
03.08.2012
Ours is the only marina in Poland that has received this international prestigious award for the seventh time in a row. - The year 2011 was special for us, says Joanna Agatowska, Deputy Mayor of the City. For the seventh time in a row, the Blue Flag waved not only over the beach, but also over our modern marina. The ceremony of raising the Blue Flag over the beach and marina took place on 1 July 2011. The Blue Flag is awarded in two categories, namely to beaches and marinas that meet the highest standards regarding water quality, environmental management, safety, and environmental education and information. Those prestigious flags are now waving, not only in Europe, but also in such exotic locations as the Republic of Southern Africa, the Caribbean, Morocco and New Zealand. This award is granted on a yearly basis. On the national level, recommendations on granting the Blue Flag are given by the National Jury. The final decision is taken by the International Jury, seated in Copenhagen, comprising representatives of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the UN Environmental Protection Programme (UNEP), the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA), the International Life Saving Federation (ILS), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the European Parliament Environmental Committee (EU), the Coastal and Marine Union (EUCC), and the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). - In order to re-apply for this award, beaches and marinas must each year run a number of strict controls, adds Robert Karelus, Spokesman for the Mayor. In 2011, apart from Świnoujście, Blue Flag awards were also granted to other locations in our region, such as Pobierowo, Pustkowo, Pogorzelica, Trzęsacz, Mrzeżyno, Niechorze, Kołobrzeg (the western beach), Ustronie Morskie (the seaside beach) and the marina camping PTTK in Szczecin.

History
03.08.2012
Świnoujście, which enjoyed international popularity well before the last war, is a relatively “young” city. Its foundation and development were influenced by such factors as location, natural conditions and the political situation in the 18th Century. Let us go back in time and revive some of the historical events.

Kite Surfing
03.08.2012
[start]
Surrounded by water and situated at the contact point of the circulating land and sea breezes, Świnoujście provides wonderful conditions for practising windsurfing and kite-surfing. The Usedom beach near the windmill, and the Warszów district beach (in the Isle of Wolin), both referred to as “spots” in the surfing jargon, have invariably enjoyed a growing popularity among Polish surfers. The best surfing conditions are created by northern, north-eastern and north-western winds. Southern winds, on the other hand, favour Szczecińskie Lake. The opening of borders for car traffic in the Isle of Usedom has considerably facilitated the access to water areas in the German part of the Isle, such as the one in the village of Kamminke, located near Świnoujście. These areas are suitable to practice both windsurfing and kite-surfing. The relatively shallow water surrounding Świnoujście, and the wide Świnoujście beach are recommended by professional instructors as making Świnoujście the safest place to learn kite-surfing. What is more, the vicinity of other near-by “spots” gives an opportunity to continue training when wind conditions change.
In 2010, Świnoujście housed the final round of Kite Tour Europe.

03.08.2012
Poznawanie wyspy Wolin od strony wody, jest jak zakochiwanie się w kimś na nowo. Wodne otoczenie wyspy wraz z jej urozmaiconymi brzegami potrafią wprawić w zachwyt nie mniejszy, niż jej najpiękniejsze zakątki na lądzie.

Szlak kajakowy
03.08.2012
Początek szlaku znajduje się w ośrodku wypoczynkowo-wędkarskim “Marina”
w Karsiborze. Stąd wpływamy na spokojne wody Zatoki Mulnik, a potem Młyńskiej Toni, czyli na nurt dawnej odnogi Świny, której zachodni wylot uległ najpierw zabagnieniu,
a potem został zasypany w czasie budowy Kanału Piastowskiego.

“E-9” International seaside hiking trail
03.08.2012
[start]The E-9 Baltic Red Hiking Trail, famous for many years, is, in Świnoujście and the surrounding areas, not of uniform character – it runs partially by the Reservoir, partially by the sea, partially through the forest and partially through the city. The only common denominator is that it almost always runs through peaceful areas.
The trail begins by the Świnoujście – Ahlbeck border crossing and soon breaks off from the main, Wojska Polskiego Street, in the direction of the sea. In this way, we travel directly from the crowded and loud border market, to the quiet outlying areas of the city. Here, we will feel almost as if we were in a forest, as building are sparingly visible in this section of the trail. Even if we see buildings, they are usually covered by the surrounding natural vegetation. The trail turns east and soon reaches the first buildings of the Seaside District.
THE SEASIDE DISTRICT – The most beautiful district in Świnoujście. Art nouveau guest-houses located by the alleys and sheltered by chestnut and plane trees create the glamorous climate of a seaside health resort. For over a century, life here has had a completely different rhythm. You will walk through a bright, spacious and almost always crowded promenade and be rewarded by a view of the most representational guest-houses in Świnoujście. Passing the band-shell, you will then enter a new part of the promenade, which begins with a fountain that is illuminated at night. You can also rest by choosing a bench or a seat in one of the numerous cafes or restaurants in this part of the promenade. As they end, the congested housing ends with them. The trail now runs through Uzdrowiskowa Street, on the way passing a large hotel complex, behind which spreads a vast forest area.
Breaking off into a sand dune area, you can see abandoned bunkers and concrete structures of various shapes, the purpose of which is often hard to guess. Most of these are remnants of the radar-equipped anti-aircraft battery built here by the Nazis.
RADARS IN ŚWINOUJŚCIE – the sand dunes at Uzdrowiskowa Street were used by Hitler’s secret radio-location unit. This is where they built powerful radars, capable of picking up targets in the area of up to 50 km and precisely pinpointing them for the artillery. According to the thesis of a researcher of fortifications in Świnoujście, P. Laskowski, the unit performed, among others, experimental tasks. Most likely, among their research were the flight trajectories of V1 rockets and tests of infrared observation systems functioning in tandem with the radars.
Next, the trail moves away from the sea, going along the Świna river to the western fort complex.
THE WESTERN FORT – this protected the entrance to the port in Świnoujście by use of heavy cannons (it was fortified with 210 and 150 mm cannons). Its construction began in 1843. From that time forward, for 121 years, it ceaselessly performed military functions – first for the Prussian army, then for Hitler’s army, and finally for the Soviets. Currently, its grounds, among others, host the largest exhibit of military excavations in Świnoujście.
THE ANGEL’S FORT – the most filigree fort of the 19th-Century Świnoujście Stronghold, built between 1855-58. It had less significance in combat; however, it performed a crucial communications function in the complex of four port strongholds in Świnoujście (apart from the Angel’s Fort, it was composed of the Eastern and Western Forts, as well as the eastern Port Stronghold - which was demolished after the war during the construction of the Port of Świnoujście). Before World War II, Angel's Fort functioned as Hitler’s air defence command for Świnoujście – a remnant of that period is the concrete extension, where a radar antenna was located.
The next section of the trail, paved with brick, leads through Jachtowa Street, and runs near the shore of the North Basin. The basin once served as a dry shipyard dock (drained of water using a special barrier and a system of pumps). Currently, it is a modern yacht port for 400 units. The red brick structures are part of the complex of 19th-Century buildings and depots that made up former shipyard, including a characteristic water tower. A little further along, the trail passes a landmark building of the Port Authority – one of the favourite painting and postcard motifs of the turn of the 20th Century. It is the central seashore of the city – the Coast of Władysław IV.
THE COAST OF WŁADYSŁAW IV – the active and very wide, main “waterway junction” of Świnoujście. “Bielik” municipal ferries, which shuttle all day long, must at times give priority to ships travelling through Świna. Tugboats and fireboats, as well as occasionally other very interesting units, constantly moor at the quay. Nearby, you can also find a military port.
A short while after that you will reach the crossing point for the Wolin island – a terminal for the “Bielik” ferries. However, if the time allows for it, you should visit the Maritim Fishing Museum before crossing to the other shore. It is located only a few hundred meters further, near the Fisherman’s Square.

A didactic trail
03.08.2012
[start]The key geographical location of the Świna river mouth has for a long time determined its trade, economic and military significance. Each new set of inhabitants of this land accentuated its presence there by erecting defence fortifications.
Before Świnoujście became a city and a sea port, the first fortifications around the town were built in the 17th Century by Albrecht von Wallenstein for effective defence against the Danes and Swedes. The next bulwarks were built here by the Swedes, while the Prussians controlling the city from 1720, only continued the work of their predecessors.
During the Napoleonic wars, new fortifications on both banks of the Świna river were built by the French. In addition, in the middle of the 19th Century, the port in Świnoujście was surrounded by modern stone fortifications. This was the period of the most intensive expansion of the defence fortifications, most of which survived to this day.
The eastern bank of the Świna river mouth was always the most suitable location for the defence of the port. This was where the former communication trails ran, where the natural lay of the land provided advantageous higher ground, and it was from this direction that they expected a potential attack. Two forts and a few smaller fortifications were built here by the end of the 19th Century. Up until World War I, the main burden of the defence of the port laid with this part of Świnoujście, and the defenders were more and more focused on the sea. A great number of new structures for various purposes, mainly coast artillery and anti-aircraft artillery structures, were built here during World War I and World War II. Finally, the last touches to the fortifications in this area were made by the Russians and Poles.
Currently, many of the fortifications in Świnoujście have become tourist attractions. These are connected by way of the hiking and bicycle trails. Some of the structures were deemed as landmarks and are legally protected. Others may receive this status in the near future. In order for that to happen, it is necessary to learn about them and popularise them, to which this tour will definitely contribute.
