Interesting facts
1

2

The area contains concrete bunkers and technical remnants from a Soviet-era coastal defense battery.

3

Overview

Punkt Widokowy Gosań is the highest cliff point on the Polish Baltic coast, rising 95 meters above sea level. Located within the Wolin National Park, it offers an unobstructed panorama of the Baltic Sea, the Pomeranian Bay, and the coastline stretching toward Międzyzdroje and Świnoujście. The site serves as a strategic observation point for both coastal topography and migratory bird routes. The surrounding area features remnants of a former coastal artillery battery, which operated during the mid-20th century. Access is provided via a forest trail system integrated into the Wolin National Park network. The observation deck is naturally shaped by the geological activity of the surrounding moraine cliffs.

Insider tips

Wear sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes as the trails are unpaved, sandy, and uneven.

Bring binoculars to scan for ships entering the nearby Świnoujście port or for birdwatching.

Check the Wolin National Park website for regional weather alerts, as cliff winds can be extremely strong.

What to avoid

Attempting to descend the cliff face to the beach, which is hazardous due to unstable soil and lack of established paths.

Good to know

Access may be restricted during periods of extreme high winds or severe weather events common in the Baltic region.

Etiquette

Stay within marked boundaries; the cliff edges are unstable and prone to landslides. Do not remove stones or vegetation from the National Park grounds.
