Coast
Frombork
Frombork harbour is at once a fishing, yacht and passenger harbour, and the cathedral helps with navigation: a red light in a tower window on Cathedral Hill serves as the rear leading mark. From the quay you therefore see the same towers t…
Coast

The walk along the pier in Frombork leads about 300 metres out into the Vistula Lagoon, and since 2020 it begins on a new promenade with a renovated town beach. The pier was built in 1973, and after dark rows of lamps light up along its ra…
