The Miniature Park of Polish Lighthouses.

Share

More than once I have written about the necessity of filling up holidays with interesting things for children to do and about how difficult this is. I'm a happy mum of two children who without additional stimuli get bored very fast and are able to tread me into the sand on the beach or into the front lawn. This is why everywhere I go I try to find attractions which will occupy their time. If these attractions can teach them something, I am twice as happy.

 

In Niechorze near the beach stands the Miniature Park of Polish Lighthouses. You can find there miniatures of all Polish lighthouses on a scale of 1:10. The models are created with unheard of precision and great attention to detail. Among the most famous lighthouses in Rozewie, Hel or Krynica Morska you can see a miniature of the lighthouse of Henryk at the Arctowski Polish Arctic Station on Prince George Island in Antarctica, or the lighthouse of the Polish Polar Station, Hornsund, on Spitsbergen Island. Every lighthouse carries a board detailing its characteristics and other titbits about it. Bliza was the most interesting for my children. It is the name of a cranage lighthouse, i.e. a crane with an iron coal basket colloquially called 'volcano cauldron'. This crude lighthouse was used in Poland in the XVII and XVIII century.

 

Recently in the park there appeared miniatures that are not directly connected with lighthouses. You can see: a copy of the cannon from Hel, one of the most famous Polish ORP submarines called "Orzeł", the Adlergrund lightship or the Foghorn from Kobba Klintar Island.

 

It is possible to "visit" the whole coast in 45 minutes. The miniatures are placed in a neat aesthetic setting, which is colourful thanks to being surrounded by flowers. It is obvious that the owners care not only for miniatures but also for infrastructure (big car park, souvenir shop, café) and guides who can speak Polish, English or German. One very nice idea is the fact that if you visit this parkon your birthday, youwill get infor free.
