Vistula Spit

The Vistula Spit is an extremely elongated sandy peninsula intricately molded heavily by prevailing winds and relentless sea currents, completely effectively separating the intensely shallow, deeply brackish water of the Vistula Lagoon directly from the heavily crashing waves of the Baltic Sea. This highly restless, constantly dynamic coastal landscape is universally renowned for its entirely endless, frequently completely deserted white sandy beaches and the somewhat dense pine forests that were highly laboriously planted specifically to firmly bind the sand steadily blowing inland. Geologically and highly ecologically, the entire spit is a deeply fascinating area of absolute constant, relentless change, as incredibly fierce winter storms heavily, regularly thoroughly reshape the very coastline. For professional ornithologists, the peninsula is completely invaluable, as it lies exactly directly on one of the most incredibly important European flight routes for entirely millions of migratory birds that heavily rest here both in spring and autumn. Quite recently, the previously entirely uninterrupted ecosystem on the Polish side was deeply drastically permanently altered entirely by the highly massive construction of a very large shipping canal, which profoundly heavily technically shapes the overall landscape now.
