Hel Peninsula is a very interesting geographic phenomenon. It is a 35km long strip of land of variable width. In its narrowest part it is only 100m wide and during winter storms it frequently gets separated from the mainland Poland and turns into an island. All along the peninsula run rail tracks, a bike path and a road for cars that cut through the cities of Wladyslawowo, Chalupy, Kuznica, Jastarnia, Jurata and Hel. We stopped in each of these cities, and whenever possible, we walked across them to see Baltic Sea on one side, and Bay of Puck on the other one. We also walked to the furthest point of the peninsula, where the bay waters mix with the sea.
