WWII Bunker, Hel Peninsula, Poland
The Hel Peninsula is a scythe-shaped environmental landscape unique in Europe. At the narrowest point (in Jastarnia town) it is only 150 m wide. From the north, Hel Peninsula is surrounded by the Baltic Sea, from south by the warmer waters of Bay of Puck. Along the peninsula runs the railway line. Passengers of the train can enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery – more perceptive tourists will notice the sea shore on the left and right side at the same time.
