INTRODUCTION The dynamic infrastructure development of tourist ports of the West Pomeranian Sailing Route contributed to the attractiveness of the sailing conditions in the region.

For thousands of water sports enthusiasts West Pomerania is the most favourite area for summer and weekend outings. For others the region remains as yet undiscovered and still alluring thanks to its unique set of assets. Without a doubt, there is no better spot for all those who wish to enjoy their passion for sailing and to take in the charms of West Pomerania.

This publication is dedicated to sailors and water motor sports enthusiasts. It was created with the aim of presenting the information about the local water bodies, sailing conditions and port infrastructure. The publication also contains information concerning mooring at all the marinas and harbours of the West Pomeranian Sailing Route along with symbolically represented services rendered by individual locations. There are also descriptions of ways of port approach, working hours of the infrastructure and institutions related to water transport as well as a lot of other information that every sailor will find important.

We are convinced that the information will be useful, thereby increasing the safety and comfort of those spending time on the waters and at yacht harbours of the West Pomeranian Sailing Route.

Happy boating

The West Pomeranian Sailing Route The West Pomeranian Sailing Route is a network of over thirty ports and yacht harbours on the Oder, in the environs of the Szczecin Lagoon and on the Baltic coast. The distances between them do not exceed 20-30 nautical miles, i.e. several hours of easy sailing.

It enables moving from one port to another within one day and ensures safe, recreational sailing not only for experienced yachtsmen, but also for slightly less experienced yachting enthusiasts. The water reservoirs on the Route offer a lot of variety, they are full of picturesque spots and for those keen to experience a true maritime adventure – there are also some difficult challenges on the way.

Ports and yacht harbours feature user-friendly, modern, and recently modernized infrastructure with extensive service facilities. They are located in places of great tourist attractions, offering a multitude of interesting leisure activities.

The West Pomeranian Sailing Route is a splendid place to practice water sports, to relax and have a good time. Its growing popularity clearly shows that a new model tourist brand was created in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. www.marinas.pl

Bridges in Wolin

THE DZIWNA STRAIT:

When travelling through Wolin, three bridges are passed. Looking from the Szczecin Lagoon towards the sea, the three bridges are as follows: a town drawbridge, a permanent arch bridge on the S3 road and a permanent railway bridge. Detailed description for each one is given below:

Drawbridge on the Dziwna Strait in Dziwnów The bridge was put into operation in 1994, it is opened electrically and it works on the principle of counterbalance. Once the bridge is opened, the width of the waterway is 16 m. The bridge is opened

Swing bridge in Wolin: It is a very low, road bridge with approximately 3.1 m of clearance over the water level. It is fitted with a swing span. One needs to

15

be ready to pass under the bridge several minutes before it is opened.

The bridge is administered by Wolin Town Hall and it is operated

by Ryszard Ptaszek, tel.: +48 510 675 705.

In 2015 the bridge will be opened according to the following schedule: : From 1 May to 31 August • Monday–Friday: 09:00 am and 04:00 pm • Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays: 10:00 am, 02:00 pm an 06:00 pm From 1 to 30 September: • Monday–Friday: 09:00 am and 03:00 pm • Saturdays: 10:00 am • Sundays: 01:00 pm From 1 October to 30 April: • Monday–Friday: 09:00 am and 03:00 pm • Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays: bridge is closed In the period from 1 July to 31 August, from Monday to Friday it is possible to have the bridge opened at 12:00 pm. Such an opening depends on gathering of a group of yachts (minimum three) and making arrangements in advance (half an hour before the opening time) via telephone with the bridge operator.

The bridge operation is supervised by Zbigniew Augustyniak – Manager of Construction, Initiatives and Business Activity Department of Wolin Town Hall, tel. +48 91 32 20 811.

The ferry service is managed by Żegluga Świnoujście: http://www. zegluga.swi.pl/. Current ferry service timetable is available at: http://www.zegluga.swi.pl/. Ferries run 24 hours a day. Telephone to the dispatcher: +48 913 212 140.

Permanent bridge on the old Świna It is located next to the Mulnik basin, a former U-boot basin. It has a clearance of 6.3 m over the water level. Unfortunately, the bridge quite successfully blocks access to Wicko Wielkie Lake for yachts that are not fitted with an option of laying down their mast.

Selected Bridges on the Western Oder: Piotr Zaremba Castle Route was built over the course of 19781996. It is one of the four thoroughfares linking the left and right river banks in Szczecin. The Castle Route is situated next to the Chrobry Embankment and rather effectively obstructs yacht access to beautifully renovated boulevards. In 2007, before the final of the Tall Ships Races, truly striking, blue-coloured illumination had been installed on the Castle Route.

Sobieski Long Bridge – a bridge spanning over the Western Oder in Szczecin, joining the part of the city situated on Łasztownia Island and the city centre. Regrettably, at present it no longer functions as a drawbridge.

Railway Bridge is located a few hundred meters past the Long Bridge and it connects Szczecin railway station with Kępa Parnicka Island. Unfortunately, the bridge does not open.

Customs Bridge in Szczecin is situated on the Regalica River and it links the left bank of the city with the right bank of the river. The bridge is visible on the approach to Marina Pogoń.

Current timetable of bridge opening times can be found at the following address: http://www.wolin.pl/wolin/gospodarka-odpadami/98.html.

OTHER BRIDGES ON THE WESTERN ODER AND THE REGALICA RIVER:

Permanent bridge on S3 expressway in Wolin

See the table on page 17.

Height from water level: 12.05 m. It is worth bearing that in mind, since watermarks show an increased clearance of 12.5 m.

SZCZECIN–ŚWINOUJŚCIE FAIRWAY:

Permanent railway bridge in Wolin Height from water level: 12.44 m. Watermarks show a decreased clearance of 12.4 m.

THE ŚWINA STRAIT: Ferries in Świnoujście There are two regular ferry crossing services in Świnoujście: • Warszów ferry service running in Świnoujście Centre, next to the railway station, • Centre ferry service, also known as Karsibór ferry service.

16

Szczecin-Świnoujście fairway is an artificial waterway leading from the approach buoy at the anchorage in the Pomeranian Bay, through the Świna Strait in Świnoujście, the Mieliński Canal, the Piastowski Canal, the Szczecin Lagoon, the Roztoka Odrzańska, the Domiąża River in Police and the Western Oder – to the Seaport in Szczecin. While crossing the Szczecin Lagoon, distinctive Fairway Arches are passed on the Fairway. Szczecin maritime community has been battling for years to have the Fairway dredged up to the depth of 12.5m.

Ognica Near the village of Ognica the water lane leading up the Oder branches out towards the west in the direction of the entry into the Schwedter Querfahrt Canal. The canal links the western and eastern Oder channel and it is the first section of the approach to an industrial town of Schwedt/Oder.

The wharf is located on eastern bank of the Oder. One can approach the wharf directly from the water lane. Owing to waves stirred by barges, pushers and tug boats passing with the main current, yachts should be carefully moored and the proper use of dolphin fenders is particularly recommended. During manoeuvres one need to account for the current whose speed may reach even up to two knots.

It is a place for a short stopover. We will find 20 berthing places there. The facility has no specific tourist and sailing infrastructure. We can berth here is only permitted if no cargo-carrying vessels moor there at the time, which are given privileged use of the wharf on account of its intended purpose. The facility has no specific tourist and sailing infrastructure.

It is recommended that even during a short stopover one person should stay on-board a yacht to be able to move the yacht to a different location in order to vacate the quay for large vessels. If there is free space available, mooring next to the slip in the northern part of the wharf is best. Yachts of greater draught must watch out for the underwater part of the slip ramp.

Widuchowa

There is a 15th-century church of Saint Hedwig of Silesia in Ognica village. There Gatow is also a small wooden chapel dating back to the early 20th century, which the village residents used after the II World War, when the church in Ognica had been destroyed.

On behalf of the terrain owner – the State Treasury – the Regional Board of Water Management in Szczecin acts as the Administrator of Water Supervision in Ognica.

Widuchowa On the east bank of the Oder, close to where the state border runs alongside the eastern branch of the Oder, there is a rural commune of Widuchowa featuring a small wharf, which was once used for border crossings. At present, it serves as a public berthing space and it has two quays: a larger one designated for barges and small inland vessels that sometimes call there, as well as a shorter one that is ideal for mooring yachts and motor boats.

The approach to the wharf leads directly from the navigation current of the Oder.

On account of a possible strong river current, portside mooring is recommended.

Waves stirred by barges, pushers and tug boats passing with the main current require yachts to be carefully moored and dolphin fenders be properly fastened.

During a strong backflow of the Baltic waters sailors need to account for the possibility of a change in the current direction and high water levels.

Szczecin The yacht harbour on Grodzka Island is the youngest marine of the West Pomeranian Sailing Route and it is located in the very centre of Szczecin between the Starówka Wharf and Grodzka Island. The harbour faces the Chrobry Embankment.

From Świnoujście we sail along SzczecinŚwinoujście water lane, pass Marina Gocław and “Jachtowa” restaurant on the starboard. Then we see Okrętowa Island ahead, where Gryfia Ship Repair Yard is located - with its distinctive black docks sitting on the headland of the island along with a company manufacturing foundations for offshore wind farms – a characteristic tall hall stretching alongside the wharf. Since 2014 the island has been linked to the mainland with a permanent bridge, which is why we sail around it on the left. Past the island we sail alongside the wharfs of former Szczecin Shipyard, we sail around one of the largest gantry cranes in Europe and an inconspicuous-looking building of the common room, where the December “Solidarity” agreements were signed. We head right, passing the grey building of “Ewa” elevator building on the portside.

In front we see Grodzka Island, where the marina is located.

can stroll along Sailors’ Avenue. While on the opposite Gdynia Boulevard there is a boatswain’s building between the Long Bridge and the Castle Route with sanitary facilities and a possibility of renting motor boats. Because of the location of the boulevards between bridges, only motor boats and yachts with foldable masts can moor there.

The afore-mentioned Chrobry Embankment serves as the scenery for major cultural events held in Szczecin. The place hosts events such as: Picnic on the Oder (May), Sea Days (June) combined with the Old Timers’ Rally, the Oder Days (July), “Pyromagic” International Festival of Fireworks (August), or the finals of the Tall Ships Races.

There are three berthing basins at the marina, all of them on the Duńczyca River. We encounter the first one before the footbridge linking Grodzka Island and Łasztownia Island, sailing from the side of “Ewa” elevator. Two other basins are found behind the footbridge and in order to get to them, one needs to sail around the island on the right, navigating on the Western Oder.

Caution: Apart from ships, barges navigate the Oder, quite frequently on the Western Oder and these vessels have limited manoeuvrability in relation to yachts.

The new marina is located close to revitalized Oder boulevards, as well as Stara Rzeźnia with a restaurant, a screening room, a gallery and a café. On Piastowski Boulevard we

Szczecin ZA buoy-marked water lane leads to the marina from the Jacek Canal. From a distance you should steer towards the buildings of an old elevator, or a church. The entrance to the SMC is located behind some trees on the right. Directly ahead of you will see a canal of a former elevator, on the portside you will find the Maritime League canal.

On both sides of the water lane there are shoals. When travelling on-board a yacht with greater draught, you should moor on the right-hand side of the SMC’s basin. On the left-hand side the basin is very shallow.

Owing to very dense positioning of yachts in the basin, entering the marina under sails is impossible. On the right of the entrance towards the water lane a sandbank appears temporarily. Due to lack of lighting alongside the water lane and on account of fishing nets, entering the SMC’s marina is not recommended at night.

The Scouts’ Maritime Centre is a harbour in which many local sailors started their sailing careers, navigating Vega, Totem and Watra yachts, among other vessels. It is worth mentioning that the idea of sea cruises on-board DZ yachts started in the SMC. Piotr Czeronko won the award of the Cru-

ise of the Year for his yacht cruise on-board “Żagiewka” (Nefryt) around the Baltic Sea. SMC offers charter yachts or kayaks rental service. Nearby the SMC there is a well-outfitted town beach, where each year Lake Dąbie Film Evenings take place in late-July. In Szczecin Dąbie, located 1 km away from the SMC, you will find shops, an ATM, as well as a shopping centre, including a 24hour Społem supermarket. In Dąbie itself we recommend that you visit the church of Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Conception with a very distinctive-looking tower as well as Dąbie’s historic area on the Płonia River (presently areas designated for leisure and walking).

Interestingly, during the 1960’s “Kormoran” yachts and during the 1970’s “Wydra” yachts were built in a boat building shop located in the centre premises. A small manor house built around 1917 is located in the centre area. Before the war it used to be the Bochertow’s residence. The manor house was connected to a lovely garden.

Today the manor house is under repair.

We must not deviate outside of the area marked by the buoys. Yachts of greater draught are in particular danger of running aground if they leave the fairway.

The marina has recently undergone significant extension and some of the old, derelict buildings have been demolished. The port is divided into two sections. Looking from the water – on the starboard, on the southern side, in the area where the approach fairway ends, there is a double basin shielded by a floating landing, further on to the north there is an old, but modernized basin used chiefly by visiting yachts; it is shielded with a breakwater made of a sunken old barge.

sailing enthusiasts head there in droves for short yachting outings.

S-SW winds are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

A wide, sandy, guarded beach with a slide and water equipment rental is an integral part of marina in Lubczyna. It is possible to hire sailing yachts, including Delphia 37.3, several large Maxus type drop keel yachts as well as recreational equipment. In 2013, the bathing beach was awarded a prestigious Blue Flag. Next to the beach there are several food outlets and shops.

A canoeing trail – the Ina Meanders – runs from Goleniów to Lubczyna. It is possible to rent kayaks or travel by a water bus on the Ina River.

Despite the extension of the harbour and an increase in the number of berthing stations, arriving yachts often find it difficult to find a mooring place. Marina Lubczyna is the only harbour in this part of the lake and traditionally, especially on public holidays,

ŁARPIA RIVER

1,5-2,5 m

Police In Police there are two harbours lying on the Łarpia River – a small town marina administered by the Sports and Recreation Centre as well as TKKF “Olimpia” club marina. The main problem during entry into the marina is a pipe, running across the river that constitutes an approach way to the basins. It belongs to “Police” Chemical Plant, running at an approximate height of 6 m and preventing entry to yachts other than motor yachts fitted with an option of a folding mast.

The mouth of the Łarpia River is hidden between a beach on the Oder River and Police Sea Port. Navigating from Szczecin, we will first see “Mijanka” - a transhipment station used for reloading liquid products, located on Police Meadows Island. Then a small beach follows – and immediately behind it there is the mouth of the Łarpia River. An entrance to the mouth of the Łarpia is in front of Krampa (Radzień) Island.

On the right bank there is a white and red navigation sign of Domańce c(2)WR.8s2M. While sailing from the Szczecin Lagoon, you first pass a phosphogypsum stacking yard/ dump, Długi Ostrów Island, following which there is Police Sea Port, and approximately 500 m behind the port there is the mouth of the Łarpia River. The water lane of the Łarpia is not marked. Sailing along the

Łarpia, we steer slightly to the right, and then at the end of the Police Midstream we steer towards the portside. Ahead of us we will see an overgrown canal, while we steer to the portside. Once we pass the pipe, we go past two small canals and then we can draw to “Olimpia” harbour. It is separated from the town harbour by a small basin, in which the Volunteer Lifeguard Service (WOPR) and the Water Police are stationed.

TKKF “Olimpia” is one of few club harbours on the lagoon maintained by its own members. “BRAS” School Sailing Club operates in the town harbour. Each club member has his/her own “hangar” to keep a yacht in during winter. There is a boatswain’s office and modernised sanitary facilities in the harbour as well as a small bonfire area.

Winds from E directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

In Police you may see, among other attractions, the ruins of a former synthetic petrol factory. Excursions are organized by “SKARB” Association of Friends of Police Land. In Police you have a chance of meeting a famous kayaker - Aleksander Doba who was the first individual to have ever single-handedly kayaked across the

Łarpia

Atlantic Ocean, and his other feats include crossing the Baltic Sea and Baikal Lake by kayak.

Stepnica There are two approach routes leading to Stepnica, a northern one and a southern one. The northern one (approx. 0.8 Mm) from ST buoy located at Świnoujście – Szczecin fairway to a pair of ST-1 and ST-2 buoys. You need to steer at Stepnica-Port leading marks (067.6°).

A southern approach commences at buoy No 24 positioned at Zakręt Mańkowski (Mańkowski Turn). Then we sail in the direction of (006°) towards a pair of ST-1 and ST-2 buoys.

You need to watch out for dangerous Miszewskie Kamienie (Miszewskie Stones) lying close to the fairway, marked with a cardinal buoy. The fairway will lead us directly to a railway (transhipment) basin. The entrance to the railway basin is illuminated with navigation lights installed on breakwater heads. A high quay of reinforced concrete and sparsely placed, large mooring bollards make mooring highly difficult, especially for smaller yachts. In the rail canal we can also encounter mooring barges or push boats. At the eastern basin shore there is a refuelling station – it is possible to refuel from the water.

Heading in the north-westerly direction, approximately 500 m from the rail canal, we will find a newly-built marina is found alongside a promenade. Past the marine you will find a fishing harbour, slightly hidden behind a breakwater, then a town beach with a small pier, to which yachts moor sometimes.

An entrance to the main marina, located on the shores of the Młyński Canal, hidden among the greenery, is on the left side of the bay. It is marked with a flag of Poland mounted on a mast erected on the breakwater head; when entering the marina, keep to the right.

The Młyński Canal is 780 m long and the canal width ranges from 12 to 20 m.

About 300 yachts can be accommodated in the canal. A cobbled road stretches on the left of the canal. A boatswain’s office and sanitary facilities are found near the end of the canal on the right, while a slipway is located at the very end of the canal. The canal also has the so-called manoeuvring basin, used chiefly by larger vessels. Caution: vessels may be moored in the manoeuvring basin, which may make manoeuvring difficult. The harbour on

the Młyński Canal is administered by LOK Sailing and Motor Boating Club.

Strong winds from WSW and ENE directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

When mooring at the fishing harbour, we automatically participate in all the events organized in Stepnica in the open air, since right next to the harbour you will find a promenade, an open air stage and the town meeting agora. Furthermore, various sorts of bars and restaurants are located close by.

Strong winds from W-SW directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to all harbours.

The fishing harbour is located in the centre of Stepnica, lying between a railway basin and the beach. The entry to the harbour is protected by two breakwaters: on the right the breakwater is built from floating landings, on the left the breakwater is built of brick.

Opposite to the entrance there are floating landings, whereas on the left we sail into the fishing basin occupied mostly by large fish cutters. Both the floating

Stepnica The marina can be accessed exclusively by vessels with a draught of no more than 0.40 m. The approach to the marina is unmarked, despite the fact that at the distance of over 0.5 Mm it runs over the Kopicka Shallows. The western edge of the shallows is particularly dangerous, featuring highly changeable course and numerous shoal patches; the danger is even higher when waves have been stirred on the water reservoir.

According to locally-sourced information, you should not steer directly towards the entrance while sailing into the marina, but you should rather aim at a clump of trees found on the left looking from the water (approx. 500 m), then you should sail along the shore towards the marina entrance.

You should not draw up to an external (western) landing on the outer side on account of stones.

The trail runs across “Białodrzew Kopicki” reserve area and it constitutes a risk to the protected water plants.

The marina itself, created by sailing and motor boating enthusiasts, is comprised of

Roztoka Odrzańska

two basins for water equipment measuring up to 8 m in length and with a draught of up to 0.7 m. “Szuwarek” Kopice Water Sports Club administers the marina. The marina operates all the year round, and provides security services from June to September.

Traditionally, at the start of the season, a family picnic is held. Rental of small water equipment (kayaks, boats, pedal boats, sailing boats) operates at the marina and cruises on a motor catamaran are organized around the Szczecin Lagoon.

Kopice is a small village lying at the road from Stepnica to Czarnocin. Presently, it is chiefly made up of holiday homes. In the vicinity there are mostly forests and meadows, appealing to bicycle tourism and hiking enthusiasts. Within the distance of an hour’s walk along the paths running through a picturesque forest bordering the lagoon lies Czarnocin village that boasts an architectural curiosity in the form of “Frajda” holiday resort building and the neighbourhood of the Szczecin Lagoon Nature Park. Visitors can enjoy the park from designated walking trails and viewing towers.

When entering through the southern approach, we pass the buoy on the portside and we follow course 301.2°; to facilitate entry to port, you need to align the yacht with the leading marks. Mid-way we will be passing two buoys TS-1 and TS-2, following which we sail between the port heads. When entering port from the left side, we will first be passing a commercial basin with Ladziński Yacht Shipyard and a SAR base, the Maritime Office wharf and a refuelling station. We leave buoy No 15 on the portside. Sailing from the Szczecin Lagoon, we begin our approach from TN-A buoy, once it has been passed we assume course 150°. On the way we will be passing TN-B, TN-C, TN-D, TN-E buoys until we reach the port heads. In order to facilitate entry to port, you need to align the yacht with the light leading marks (150.2°). We leave TN-A light buoy and other buoys with no lights on the starboard side. When you reach TN-D buoy, shoals may occur. To

reach the port in Trzebież we need to pass basins A and B of the Main Sailing Centre.

The port, administered by the Maritime Office, begins at the point when you reach a refuelling station. At the western side of the water lane there are significant shoals, that is why water lane line must not be crossed at that point – even by yachts with small draught. Overall, in case of both approach routes, if yachts with greater draught sail outside the limits of these two routes, they will likely run aground.

Port in Trzebież is slightly more sheltered and quieter than the Main Sailing Centre wharf. There are three small basins for fishing boats and a slipway in the commercial basin. Between the southern basin and the Main Sailing Centre there is a transit wharf, where the refuelling station and the boatswain’s office are located.

We can often see Maritime Office vessels mooring in the commercial basin and at the wharf along with ships of various services and inspections. The port has the infrastructure enabling the collection of oily waters and restocking of water; there is access to electric power and toilets.

2,5-3 m

Nowe Warpno No marked water lane leads to the harbour, although the canal running alongside the shore leading to no-longer existing mill, which used to stand a little behind a Camping Site, is 1.6 to 2 m deep. Generally, it is not recommended for yachts of draught over 1.6 m to enter the canal.

To reach the Camping Site, while sailing from the direction of Altwarp, you need to steer to the right from the last green buoy No NW-1, sailing towards a border post (black & white), a headland on which a church stands; on account of shallow waters, you must not get near the shore (keep a distance of approx. 60 m from the shore). Then we pass a town beach, then sailing along the shore, we reach floating blue landings. These are bathing beach landings and they are not intended for yacht mooring. There is a small landing for yacht mooring on the right of the harbour, featuring a slipway for yachts. The depth immediately next to the landing is approx. 0.8 m.

From the Campsite you may also sail to Rieth (a lovely, slightly sleepy town on the German side of the border) and admire the ruins of an old farmstead on Riether Werder Island.

Drawing up to the island is prohibited!

A modernized campsite in Nowe Warpno offers all-seasons, luxurious cabins, sanita-

ry facilities, a bar, as well as a place to pitch a tent, to park a camper van along with sport facilities (among other amenities, a volleyball court is available) and a barbecue area.

The Campsite also has a beach with jetties.

The Campsite itself is located in an out-of-the-way place about 1 km away from the centre of Nowe Warpno (and about 1 km from a chapel in Karszno). Nowe Warpno Lake as well as the bay itself offer excellent conditions for all types of surfing.

During the stay at the campsite winds blowing from SE to W sector are unfavourable winds.

You can get from Nowe Warpno to Szczecin by a minibus running between Nowe Warpno – Trzebież – Police. In the town of Nowe Warpno itself Sailors’ Avenue is well worth a visit, along with a promenade with an observation tower, the town hall dating back to the 17th century as well as a palace in Karszno. In nearby Podgrodzie you can see the remains of Polish Artiek – i.e. a children’s village.

(offering bream soup, fish dishes, or wild boar goulash) as well as dumplings and fish dishes at beach bars next to the promenade.

The bakery at Kościuszki St. is worth visiting, where pastry baked in a traditional oven can be tasted.

The town, beautifully renovated recently, each year attracts numerous artists to paint in the open air at Karszno palace. In this quiet town you may dine at “Argus” bar

Nowe Warpno Nowe Warpno marina lies between a pier and a building of an ice manufacturing plant. The marina comprises five basins of varying depth – from 1.5 m to 2.0 m. You can enter three small basins – that can accept twelve yachts altogether - directly from the side of the water lane. The remaining two basins - each one designated for two yachts - have entries parallel to the water lane. When you reach the first basin you will see a building, and when you get to the second basin there will be a bar.

There is also a slipway at the marina for pulling out fish cutters, drop keel or flat-bottomed yachts. The slipway is not presently suited to launch yachts and motor boats from a trailer. At the end of the marina there is an ice manufacturing plant, a fish warehouse and fish cutters are moored.

marks on the pier are visible also at night, similarly to some of the floating beacons on the water lane to Nowe Warpno (partly running along the border).

Frequently sailors take a shortcut to Nowe Warpno and they sail between Łysa Island and the Podgrodzie Peninsula. If you choose to take it, you need to watch out for nets cast in the narrows and keep close to the peninsula. Then you need to steer at the church tower. The shortcut can only be used by yachts with a draught not greater than 1.5 m.

Strong winds from N directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

The marina is located next to a renovated port boulevard.

We follow the water lane from Stare Warpno towards the pier. On the right of the pier we will see a church tower, then a smaller town hall tower. Once a red buoy (NW4) has been passed, you can head directly to a basin of your choice. Leading

Nowe Warpno Nowe Warpno port, administered by the Maritime Office, comprises the socalled pier and wharf of a former border crossing (the Przemysłowe Wharf). The Przemysłowe Wharf is presently used mostly by fishermen from Trzebież.

There are boatswain’s office buildings and sanitary facilities. During the port boatswain’s working hours it is possible to connect to electrical power and water supply on the pier.

From the heads of the Piastowski Canal we navigate to Nowe Warpno, passing on the starboard side a green buoy placed close to breakwater heads and sailing towards TW-4 buoy, being cautious of fishing nets. We then head towards the border buoy, passing on the starboard side an illuminated MOS cardinal buoy, then along yellow lines and along unilluminated border buoys. At buoy No 14, we follow the water lane, designated with green and red buoys, arranged in a passing bay in the direction of Altwarp. We pass a narrow passage between the port in Altwarp and Łysa Island, then we steer towards a church tower following the water lane. From the direction of Szczecin to the buoy we steer towards fairway arch No 2.

We can also select a shortcut from buoy 5 between fairway arch Nos 2 and 3 and then sail on along WWE and WN-E cardinal marks (53°45′82″N, 14°19′08″E), then sail towards the border buoy No 14. Beware of fishing nets and significant depth changes on that route.

Passing Łysa Island, we then sail along the water lane to Stare Warpno towards the pier. On the right of the pier we will see a church tower, then a smaller town hall tower. Once we pass a red buoy (NW4), we can steer directly towards the pier or further on to the Przemysłowe Wharf.

A mobile operator mast stands within the premises of the former border crossing.

A belt of rushes stretches between Nowe Warpno Marina and the Przemysłowe Wharf.

Frequently sailors take a shortcut to Nowe Warpno and they sail between Łysa Island and the Podgrodzie Peninsula. If you choose to take it, you need to watch out for nets cast in the narrows and keep close to the peninsula. Then you need to steer at the church tower. The shortcut can only be used by yachts with a draught not greater than 1.5 m.

Nowe Warpno Nowe Warpno port, administered by the Maritime Office, comprises the socalled pier and wharf of a former border crossing (the Przemysłowe Wharf). The Przemysłowe Wharf is presently used mostly by fishermen from Trzebież.

There are boatswain’s office buildings and sanitary facilities. During the port boatswain’s working hours it is possible to connect to electrical power and water supply on the pier.

From the heads of the Piastowski Canal we navigate to Nowe Warpno, passing on the starboard a green buoy placed close to breakwater heads and sailing towards TW-4 buoy, being cautious of fishing nets. We then head towards the border buoy, passing on the starboard side an illuminated MOS cardinal buoy, then along yellow lines and along unilluminated border buoys, at buoy No 14, we follow the water lane, designated with green and red buoys, arranged in a passing bay in the direction of Altwarp. We pass a narrow passage between the port in Altwarp and Łysa Island, then we steer towards a church tower following the water lane. From the direction of Szczecin to the buoy we steer towards fairway arch No 2.

We can also select a shortcut from buoy 5 between fairway arch Nos 2 and 3 and then sail on along WWE and WN-E cardinal marks (53°45′82″N, 14°19′08″E), then sail towards the border buoy No 14. Beware of fishing nets and significant depth changes on that route.

Wolin You can sail to Wolin from the direction of the Szczecin Lagoon, which is a shorter route, and from the Baltic Sea. The latter route is more problematic, because we sail past four bridges. One vertical-lift bridge in Dziwnów. Three more are in Wolin - one swing bridge and two permanent bridges (a road bridge – clearance over the water surface 12.5 m – and a rail bridge – 12.4 m). In the summer, we need to watch out water plants. They tend to not only slow our vessel down, but also get entangled in the propeller.

The water lane from the direction of the Szczecin Lagoon permits night navigation.

Sailing from the direction of the Szczecin Lagoon from Szczecin, we draw out to the right from fairway arch No 3, navigating alongside the water lane marked with red and white RW buoys (safe water) designated with an M symbol (M-A, M-B, etc.).

At buoy ME-W we take course 082 right to the east, being particularly careful from W4 to W3 buoys, on account of a significantly shallow spot. You need to keep to the water lane. We then enter the Skoszewo Lagoon, from buoy W3 we assume course 049 to W2 buoy, and from W3 buoy we follow course 002 to W1 buoy. The lane is

marked very precisely with the following leading marks: Skoszewo, Zagórze and Gołogóra. We steer to the right from W1 buoy, following the water lane designated with buoys.

The Yacht Basin, “Albatros” School Sports Club and the Northern Basin all lie on the left of the Świna Strait bank nearly opposite the Slavs’ and the Vikings’ town located (on Wolin Kępa Island).

Behind “Albatros” School Sports Club there is another part of the town harbour, namely the Northern Wharf, which ends in the vicinity of a swing bridge. Sanitary facilities are located next to the basin. Port charges and keys to the sanitary facilities are handled by a lady living in a house next to the basin. The Yacht Basin is open to visitors. It is administered by the Public Utilities Department in Wolin.

Strong winds from E directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

Międzyzdroje The marina in Wapnica lies in a narrowing canal, called the Sekwanka Canal by the locals. A boatswain’s office along with facilities for sailors was built at the end of the canal.

From a buoy marking the entrance we sail directly between the entrance heads.

The approach is designated with a pair of buoys: a green one and a red one, immediately behind them there are some remains of piles in the water. At higher water levels those piles are invisible – steer alongside the water lane axis!

Moor on the right-hand side of the canal.

The site for mooring larger yachts is located alongside a concrete quay at the beginning of the canal. There is no manoeuvring basin at the end of the canal.

Therefore, manoeuvring a larger yacht that ventures into that area in search of a free mooring site is very difficult, even more so on account of Y-booms for vessel mooring. Wolin National Park administration buildings are located on the left side of the canal (a building with a distinctive green-coloured roof). The left, northern canal shore is lined with stones, which descend into water at an angle. You should not come too near them.

On the way to Wapnica you will be passing a fishing harbour in Lubin as well as ruins of former buildings of a cement production plant. The harbour in Lubin does not have any welfare or sanitary infrastructure, moreover, it is hard to moor a yacht there (no mooring bollards). There is an inconspicuous-looking haven called Zalesie on Wicko Małe Lake. To reach it, you need to pass an unmarked high voltage line. Unfortunately, there are no official measurements concerning the height at which the line hangs over water. An estimated clearance is approx. 10 m.

Winds from W directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry into the marina.

The largest attraction of Wapnica is Turquoise Lake, which owes its name to its

25

turquoise-coloured waters. The lake is nothing more than an excavation left from a former chalk mine, which was operated for the needs of a huge cement production plant in the nearby town of Lubin. Near the lake a marked tourist trail has its start, running across the rich forests of the eastern lake shore.

If you navigate a yacht with a draught of over 1.3 m to Wapnica, you need to remember to sail along the water lane. The waters of Wicko Wielkie Lake are fairly shallow at this spot. You need to exercise particular caution in the vicinity of a cardinal buoy located at the entrance into the Stara Świna River. On both sides of the water lane you will find shallows and fishing nets.

Świnoujście It is a pleasant haven, hidden in the forest on Wicko Wielkie Lake. There is a dirt track road leading to the harbour from S3 expressway. Next to the expressway exit there is a bus stop of route No 10 running to Świnoujście.

The harbour is located in the northern part of Wicko Wielkie Lake. From the lake to the harbour there is a narrow and small canal, which is marked with a white, leaning mast on the right-hand side. Be careful of the shallow water on the right of the canal entrance, further on steer precisely in the centre of the passage.

While navigating the canal, after about 100 m, we reach a square-shaped, sheltered harbour. If we sail in a group of several yachts, it might be a good idea to make sure that there are enough berths available for mooring. The entry canal is an artificial ditch dug out in a layer of deposits building the shore. The ditch slopes are not reinforced, which results in deposits flowing into the water and causing heavy bottom silting. Beavers that live on the entry canal banks are mostly blamed for that phenomenon.

A small berthing basin is tightly filled with vessels mooring in the arrangement of buoy – quay.

The harbour is chiefly used for aquatic education of young people, inter alia youth from the Complex of Maritime Schools in Świnoujście. Additionally, a dozen or so resident yachts are based there; however a few berths were left for visitors to use. Łunowo harbour only offers technical water. A crane located in the harbour does not work. The harbour has a barbecue area and a place for a bonfire.

An unquestionable asset of the location is its proximity to the sea, which is a mere 20-minute walk through a dry pinewood forest. The harbour premises as well as the neighbouring reservoirs of Wicko Lake and the Świna Backward Delta lie within the area of Wolin National Park and strict rules of nature protection must be observed there.

Strong winds from S-SW directions are unfavourable during entry to Łunowo.

Be cautious of the depths while entering the marina! With southern winds, water level can fall overnight and you may find yourself trapped. 1.3 m is considered to

be maximum safe draught. Owing to the low elevation of flood-prone terrains, the harbour is highly vulnerable to the effects of high waters of the backwater from the Baltic.

Świnoujście Approach to Świnoujście from the side of the sea runs along a marked water lane designated with buoys and leading marks. It starts with a highly distinctive buoy in the shape of a wind mill on the western port head. When entering the port, it is recommended to keep close to the western side of the approach fairway, to avoid obstructing ship navigation.

You need to exercise caution, especially at night and in conditions of limited visibility, so as not to mistake the entrance into Świnoujście port with the entrance to the LNG port!

The approach to Świnoujście underwent a significant change once the LNG port construction commenced. Presently, when entering Świnoujście, we will see three breakwaters: the shortest breakwater – the western one along with the “Wind Mill“ buoy, in the middle there is a central breakwater jutting out over 1400 m into the sea and the eastern breakwater for the external port, measuring about 3 km in length. Be careful to choose the right entry. We enter between the western and central breakwaters. Between the central and eastern breakwater there is an entrance to the LNG port.

While entering Świnoujście, you absolutely must maintain radio watch, use the engine to enter the port and pay attention to ships and ferries passing you by. You need to bear

in mind that they take considerable time to stop and turn.

When sailing from the sea, you need to remember that currents are to be expected at the mouth of the Świna Strait, particularly when western wind blows.

Navigating from the direction of the Szczecin Lagoon, we enter the Piastowski Canal, passing fairway arch No 1. The entry into the canal is well sheltered with a breakwater. We then pass a ferry crossing in Karsibórz, we sail on the left-hand side of the Mieleński Canal, passing Mieleńska Island. On the right we will pass shipyard area, and on the left – the area of Świnoujście Navy Port, which occupies the Węglowy Basin and the Southern Basin.

Then we see a ferry terminal and a town ferry crossing in Warszów. After approximately ½ Mm from Warszów ferry crossing, immediately on the left-hand side of the Świna Strait, there is an entrance into the Northern Basin.

The entrance to the Yacht Port is located on the right (western) side of the Świna Strait, to the north of a massive pier separating the basin from the Świna waters. The entrance is limited by a coastal shoal, which is marked with a green buoy. Entering the marina, on the left-hand side of the basin, on the headland, we will see the seat of SAR service. Inside the basin we can moor both at floating

platforms, as well as alongside the wharf. On the right, western shore, at the end of the basin, there is a refuelling station and a slipway.

A boatswain’s office, sanitary facilities and a tavern, along with bike rental are located in the left, eastern corner of the basin. Strong winds from N directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

Świnoujście The harbour is comprised of a wharf located on the right-hand side of the basin.

Sailing from the sea, we pass Warszów ferry crossing (in the town centre), we constantly keep to the right shore, navigating along Władysław IV wharf, and we pass a T-shaped landing, having passed some military buildings, after approx. ½ Mm we will draw up to the club quay. If we sail from the direction of the Szczecin Lagoon, on the right we pass the Ferry Terminal and immediately before Warszów ferry crossing, having passed Kos Peninsula, the navy port, we steer left and passing the Węglowy Basin, we enter the Zimowy Basin.

Strong winds from N and E directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

There are two forts nearby Yacht Port – the Angel’s Forts (built in 1854-58, following the example of the Hadrian’s Mausoleum – presently St. Angel’s Castle in Rome) and the Western Fort. A spa district and a local promenade are close by. On the other side of the Świna Strait we can visit the lighthouse (dating back to 1858, the tallest lighthouse on the Baltic – 68 m, 308 steps) and Gerhard’s Fort. An underground town is a complex located 4 km from Gerhard’s Fort.

A majority of yachts moor to buoys. In the limited area of the harbour there is a barbecue place, a club building with a boatswain office and a lecture hall.

To get to the other bank of the Świna Strait we need to use a free ferry service, which runs between Uznam Island, on which the Yacht Port is located, and Wolin Island, on which the railway station is located. A railway station, by which we can travel to, among other locations, Peenemünde and other German seaside resorts, is found on Uznam Island. Heringsdorf airport is located close to Świnoujście, from where planes seasonally fly to Krakow and Warsaw.

In the quiet Zimowy Basin, in the direct vicinity of the Navy Port, there is a small Navy Yacht Club. The harbour is open to civil yachts (provided there is berthage available). The club is a ship owner of, among other vessels, Conrad 45 - s/y “Bosmat” and Opal s/y “Mat”. The club runs a maritime educational programme.

A mechanical shop is located in the club area. The club organizes a race for “the trunk”, held in the Pomeranian Bay.

The entrance to the club, slightly hidden in the greenery, is very narrow. The club has a small basin, mostly occupied by vessels of its own members. Bear in mind that if you want to berth there, it is recommended to ascertain by phone that berthage is available. The club basin is located to the right from the entrance.

When sailing into the basin, you need to be careful of the depth: on the right of the entrance a sandbank systematically builds up, thus you need to keep as close to the left as possible. In front of the entrance there is a slipway. The basin depth is approximately 1.5 m.

The marina provides a good shelter from wind and waves.

Świnoujście You can reach the marina from the Piastowski Canal. Directly before a ferry crossing when you get to the Mulnik basin, we turn towards the Stara Świna River, we sail past huge steel buoys under the Piastowski Bridge (height above the water surface approx. 4.5 m), and then we round the Mielinek Peninsula and after about 500 m we turn right into the Stara Dziwna/Świna Bay. We sail along the shoreline: the marina is found on the left-hand side. We can also get to the marina from Wicko Wielkie Lake and the Stara Świna River. We pass Karsibór Sea Port, wharfs with fish cutters, allotment gardens with garages for boats. Keeping to the left shore, we reach the Marina.

Caution: it is very shallow here.

Strong winds from N directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

“44 Islands” kayak trail starts in the marina. A former U-Boot basin is also located on Karsibór Island, next to which you will find ruins of a disused workshop hall. In the north part of the island there is a bird reserve – Karsiborska Kępa. The reserve is the first reserve of the Polish Bird Protection Association.

The reservoirs of the Stara Świna River are strewn with islands and islets lying between Wolin Island and the open lagoon are called the Świna Backward Delta. The islands emerged as a result of accumulation of sand and organic deposits carried by either the Oder current or the Baltic backwaters. The construction of the Piastowski Canal and redirecting main water masses into it has limited water accumulation of the backward delta in this region. However, shoreline changes continue until this day.

Nearby Bielawka Islands have neared a dozen or so meters to Karsibór Island over the last 50 years.

Karsibór Marina is not big, you can reach it by a drop keel yacht or by a motor boat (the marina’s depth is about 1 m).

The marina features a boat rental and a fishing tavern – its cooking is popular with visitors. The tavern is located in a wooden marina building and it has a distinctive dining room which juts out over the water. The marina also offers sleeping accommodation. There are two slipways in the haven.

Due to low land level, the marina is susceptible to the high waters of the Baltic backwaters.

DZIWNA STRAIT/ BALTIC SEA

Dziwnów You can get to the marina both from the direction of the sea (definitively an easier way), and from the direction of the lagoon on the Dziwna Strait (decidedly a far more difficult, but also more picturesque route). From the sea we steer to a white and red DZI buoy (leading mark course 142.5°) in the direction of the breakwater heads jutting out to the sea. Caution! If western winds persist over a long period, you need to account for a fairly strong transverse current flowing in the easterly direction. In case of strong eastern winds, the current flows in the westerly direction. On the left side we pass a concrete quay at the boatswain’s office, entrance to a fishing port and a SAR base. Immediately behind the base there is an entrance to the basin of a new yacht harbour.

Despite its inconspicuous shape, the marina permits mooring vessels up to 17 m long. Accommodation berths designated for such long yachts are found on both ends of the semi-circle. Manoeuvring in the basin requires significant caution on account of cramped conditions.

Opposite the entrance there is a building with all welfare facilities, a boatswain’s office, a meeting room and a café. Slipways are located on both ends of the semi-circle. Yachts moor to Y-booms.

Sailing further, we need to take into account a bridge. It is opened at every even hour. The

lifted bridge span is on the left-hand side of the bridge. Traffic is controlled with traffic lights – we sail when it’s green, we wait when it’s red, without blocking the space for vessels navigating from the direction of the lagoon. The intention of crossing the bridge must be reported to a UKF operator on channel 10 or at the Harbour Master’s Office in Dziwnów. Once we sail past the bridge, we will be passing a refuelling station (it allows refuelling from the water), a small shipyard, a wharf for fishing cutters and a passenger wharf with modern variations of pirate ships, until we reach a seasonal harbour at Wybrzeże Kościuszkowskie St. In the seasonal harbour there is a small boatswain’s office along with sanitary facilities.

Yachts moor to Y-booms or along the shore.

Navigating from the direction of Wolin, we pass a swing bridge in Wolin and two permanent bridges. Then we head along the water lane – in case of keel boats you need to bear in mind that depth must be watched. We move along the Dziwna Strait, at buoys Nos 19 and 18 we sail around Chrząszczewka Island - we steer to the left. Then from K3 buoy we steer towards K1 buoy, assuming NE direction. Monitoring the depth, we sail along the water lane from buoy 11 as far as buoy No 1. On the left-hand side we pass concrete military installations, we pass the Międzywodzki Peninsula. On the right we have the seasonal harbour, once we pass a

passenger wharf, harbour for fish cutters, shipyard and refuelling station, we sail on the left of the Świna Strait under a bridge. Entrance to the marina is several hundred meters further on the right.

Strong winds from S directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

Dziwnów Marina Polmax is a modest, but rather quiet marina located in the forest, combined with a camping site, offering also places for camper vans.

We can get to Marina Polmax in Dziwnów both from the sea and from the side of the Kamień Pomorski Lagoon by the Dziwna Strait. Maximum current speed at the mouth of the Dziwna Strait is about 3 knots, and an average speed is about 1 knot. The direction of the current changes depending on wind direction and wind strength.

The harbour is accessible from the sea with winds up to Beaufort force 5. From the direction of the sea we head from DZI buoy (course 142.7°) towards the heads of a breakwater jutting out into the sea or, better still, along the line of illuminated leading marks (142.7°). On the port side we pass a concrete quay at the boatswain’s office, an entry to the fishing basin and a SAR base. The entry to Marina Polmax lies on the right, mid-way between a concrete pier and a fishing basin.

Navigating from the side of the Kamień Pomorski Lagoon, we steer towards K1 buoy, assuming NE direction. Then we sail, watching out for depth changes, along the water

lane from buoy No 11 as far as buoy No 1.

On the right we have a seasonal harbour, once we pass a passenger wharf, harbour for fish cutters, shipyard and refuelling station, we sail on the left of the Świna Strait, then we sail under a bridge. Entrance to Marina Polmax is several hundred meters further on the left The vertical-lift bridge is opened at every even hour. The intention of passing the bridge must be reported to a UKF radio operator (channel 10) or at the Harbour Master’s Office in Dziwnów. We need to make sure that we do not block the space for vessels navigating from the direction of the lagoon.

Strong winds from NW and SW directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

Apart from a beautiful beach, in Dziwnów we will also find the Sports Stars’ Avenue with replicas of Polish athletes’ medals, or a Seaside Park of Miniatures and Railways.

We can see there miniatures of lighthouses of the Polish coast. In the summer Dziwnów hosts “Cinema in beach chairs” as well as a Greek Day and Sports Stars’ Festival. In 2014, The European Regatta Cup and

the World Championship Regatta in Laser Radial class were held here.

Dziwnów A small boatswain’s building – a white structure with a sloping roof - along with sanitary facilities is located at the seasonal wharf. The Dziwna bank protection ends at the seasonal wharf. We moor to Y-booms or along the shore. The wharf is unfenced and it is located near a pedestrian zone for holidaymakers.

Next to the wharf there are some local bars and pubs.

The wharf is exposed to waves stirred by passing vessels.

We can approach the seasonal wharf in Dziwnów from the direction of the sea as well as from the direction of the lagoon by the Dziwna Strait. From the sea we steer to RW DZI buoy (leading marks course 142.5°) in the direction of the breakwater heads jutting out to the sea. On the left side we pass a concrete quay at the boatswain’s office, an entrance to the fishing port and a SAR base. Immediately behind the base there is an entrance to a semi-circular basin of a new yacht harbour.

Sailing past the bridge we pass a refuelling station (offering the option of refuelling from the water), a small shipyard, a wharf for fish cutters and a passenger wharf with various “pirate” ships, until we reach the seasonal harbour at Wybrzeże Kościuszkowskie St..

We need to remember that a vertical-lift bridge we pass is opened at every even hour.

The intention of passing the bridge must be reported to a UKF radio operator (channel 10) or at the Harbour Master’s Office in Dziwnów.

We need to make sure that we do not block the space for vessels navigating from the direction of the lagoon.

Sailing from Szczecin, we steer right from the fairway arch No 3. Sailing along the water lane marked with RW buoys starting with an MA symbol. At RW MEW buoy we assume course 82 to the right to the east. We need to watch out for a significant shoal found between W4 and W3 buoys. It is not recommended to sail outside the fairway! Then we enter the Skoszewska Bay. From W3 buoy we assume course 49 to W2 buoy, and from W3 we follow course 1 to W1 buoy. From W1 buoy we steer to the right, alongside the water lane designated with buoys. We sail past a swing bridge in Wolin and two permanent bridges. Then we follow the water lane. In case of keel boats you need to remember to observe depth changes.

We sail along the Dziwna Strait. At buoys Nos 19 and 18 we sail round Chrząszczewska Island, heading to the left. Then from buoy K3 we steer towards K1 buoy assuming NE direction. Following that, we keep sailing, watching out for depth changes, along the water lane from buoy No 11 as far a buoy No 1. On the port side we sail round some concrete military installations, we pass the Międzywodzki

Peninsula. On the right we have the seasonal marina.

Strong winds from W and E directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the seasonal marina.

Kamień Pomorski Kamień Pomorski is located between Wolin and Dziwnów. Waterways from Dziwnów and from Wolin feature no illumination.

Sailing from Wolin, we pass the following bridges: one swing bridge and two permanent bridges. Then we follow the water lane. In case of keel boats you need to remember about monitoring depth. We navigate along the Dziwna Strait. At buoys Nos 19 and 18 we sail round Chrząszczewska Island. We steer left, precisely towards the buoys - do not take any shortcuts. Then from buoy K3 we head east to buoy K2, from where we sail straight, steering at John the Baptist’s Cathedral. The marina is located between a pedestrian footbridge and a pier. The marina is sheltered by a floating landing. The entrance lies closer to the pedestrian footbridge crossing the Karpinka Bay. When approaching the entrance to the marina on-board a larger yacht, it is recommended to keep close to the breakwater when sailing from the pier.

The Technical Basin is situated immediately behind an elevator in the southern part of the town. From the pier we head south along the shore, keeping about 60-meter distance from the shore, and we reach the Technical Basin. Entrance into the basin is located on the southern side. Directly after passing a red marina head, we make a tight

turn into the basin. The basin depth is approx. 3 m.

In the Technical Basin there are two hangars, a forklift for yacht lifting, a concrete slipway, along with a repair station and a place for yacht wintering.

Navigating from the direction of Dziwnów, we pass a vertical-lift bridge, sail around the area of a military unit, i.e. the Międzywodzki Peninsula. We enter the waters of Wrzosowskie Lake. On the right-hand side we pass concrete military installations, immediately behind the installations a marked water lane begins (caution: it is shallow!), which ends with K1 buoy, from where we head south towards K2 buoy.

The Maritime Office in Szczecin specified the following permissible vessel draughts in the Dziwna Straight: 1. For the water lane section from the southern limit of Dziwnów port to K-1 buoy – 1.5 m. 2. For the water lane section from K-1 buoy to K-3 buoy – 1.7 m. 3. For the water lane section from K-3 buoy to the swing road bridge in Wolin – 1.2 m.

The above stipulation refers to average water level. Under keel clearance in the water lanes is 0.7 m. In practice, yachts

with a draught of 1.7 m enter Kamień Pomorski from the direction of Wolin, and with a draught of 2 m from the direction of Dziwnów. However, it all depends on the water level - the lower the water level, the smaller draught is permissible.

Mrzeżyno The approach to Mrzeżyno is fairly difficult.

Access to the port is secured by two breakwaters jutting out into the sea – a longer one (marked with a green beacon), behind which a shorter, eastern breakwater is hidden (red beacon). We enter the port from the eastern side. You need to steer the yacht at the green head – direction 151° to 157°. Directly before the green head you need to change course and tightly enter into the port, keeping closely to the western “green“ breakwater. On the eastern “red“ head there is a dangerous shoal. It is not recommended to enter the port at strong winds from the sea. Port heads are located on the east side. A sandbank builds up close to the eastern breakwater.

Thus, we enter near the western breakwater.

More or less in the vicinity of the beach we head to the centre of the Rega River – without coming too near to some piles sank into the bottom of the river on the side of the western breakwater.

boats and other vessels used by tourists, a transhipment wharf, where fish cutters lie.

The basin, comprised of bunkering, eastern, southern wharf and a pier, is located just before a bridge on the left of the Rega River.

On the right-hand side, directly before the bridge, there is a repair basin with a hangar, a slipway and a crane. There is also a low floating landing next to the repair basin. The Rega River has a quite strong current. On the side of the eastern breakwater, at the section from the dunes to seawater heads, the river forms shoals from the sand it carries.

Port in Mrzeżyno underwent comprehensive modernisation and all the wharfs were fitted with water collection points and electric power outlets. The repair basin was built along with a workshop building and a slipway and a crane with a hoisting capacity of 40 tons. All the wharfs were adapted to accommodate fishing cutters, so their height over the water surface is 1.8 m.

Dźwirzyno Dźwirzyno is a small port between Kołobrzeg (6 NM) and Mrzeżyno (4NM). Maximum draught of the vessels calling here is 1.2 m, but it must be remembered that winds blowing from the land lower the water level by approx. 0.5 m.

Dźwirzyno has a smallish fishing port, in which “Omułek” dredger is permanently stationed, maintaining adequate depth of the basin as well as the basin entrance.

The port was built at the mouth of the Błotnica River flowing from Resko Przymorskie Lake. Entrance to the port is located between two short breakwaters jutting perpendicularly out into the sea.

On the approach to the port you need to assume the course of approx. 180.5°, steering at a double concrete pole standing on the western shore of the canal near a road bridge, while keeping to the water lane axis.

At night you need to steer in a narrow white sector of DZWIRZYNO light (Krk 180° – 180.5°) leading to the centre of the port entry. Entry at night is particularly difficult. The entrance quickly accumulates slime (depth of approx. 1 m) when

unfavourable winds persist. The width between breakwater heads is 19 m.

Caution! In case of persistent westerly winds, you need to account for a fairly strong transverse current flowing in the easterly direction. In case of strong eastern winds, the current flows in the westerly direction. Current speed may reach up to 3 knots!

The port boatswain works from Monday to Friday. Before entering port you need to ascertain with the boatswain as to the current depth. It is recommended to moor at the berthage basin on the left of the canal. We enter the basin near the boatswain’s office, immediately before the bridge. Caution: in case of winds pushing towards land, leaving port may be difficult.

Strong winds from N directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the port. Caution: it is a very shallow port!!!

Dźwirzyno is a small holiday resort located between the Baltic Sea and Resko Przymorskie Lake. There is a yacht harbour on Resko Lake, where you can rent rowing and paddling equipment – kayaks, rowing

boats, sailing yachts, and pedal boats. Resko Lake and a beautiful, nearly 60-m wide beach on the Baltic are undoubtedly major assets of the location. In the summer numerous cabarets perform in Dźwirzyno, and in July a 10-kilometre “Run to the Sun” is held.

Kołobrzeg The starting point of the approach to the port is KOŁ light-bell buoy about 2.5 Mm away from the port entry. From KOŁ buoy you need to assume course 148° and steer towards granary buildings for as long as the tower of the left port entry light (left port entry light at night) aligns with the leading marks and the monument of Poland’s Wedding to the Sea – it ought to be visible in the centre between the breakwater heads.

At the very entry you need to steer to the centre of port entrance. You must enter the port at the speed ensuring boat manoeuvrability. Caution! In case of persistent westerly winds, you need to account for a fairly strong transverse current flowing in the easterly direction. In case of strong eastern winds, the current flows in the westerly direction.

Once we have passed the port heads, on the left we sail past the lighthouse, then Polferries (PŻB) building, and a corn elevator building. Behind the corn elevator building we head slightly to the left. On the starboard side we see an entry into a large yacht basin surrounded by a pier, while on the portside we see an entry to a yacht harbour.

You will find berths available for visitors in the yacht harbour on the left of the basin. In the large yacht basin you must not anchor on

the side of the fort – Morast Redoubt, since this section is very shallow. The large yacht basin ends with a slipway. At its end the basin loses depth.

Morast Redoubt dates back to the 18th century. Currently it is occupied by bars, and concerts are organized there. Sailor Bar and a conference room operate at the marina.

Yacht technical service, offering repairs and regular motor and sailing yacht service, operates in a hangar. A SAR station is located next to the marina.

Strong winds from N and NE directions are unfavourable during the stay at and entry to the marina.

Kołobrzeg is one of the largest spa and holiday resorts on the Baltic. The town lies in the Parsęta River valley, where many canoeing trips are organized. Kołobrzeg is famous for therapeutic mud as well as medicinal waters used in sanatoria.

Kołobrzeg pier is presently the longest concrete pier in Poland. Kołobrzeg plays host to, among other events – the Sunrise Festival – July; “Hope“ Festival of Jan Kaczmarki’s Poetic Song – July. Places worth a visit include Kołobrzeg lighthouse, old town hall, Museum of the Polish Army, and in particular the Maritime Open Air Museum next to the ma-

rina, where you can visit ORP “Fala“ and ORP “Władysławowo“, remnants of ROP “Burza“ sitting up on cradles. Those seeking more intense thrills could try visiting “Bastion“ - the Centre of Military Attractions, where you can drive a T55 tank or a mechanized combat vehicle.

If we want to get to Darłowo, we continue sailing along the Wieprza River, passing on the left some beautifully renovated embankments with complete infrastructure. Yachts can make berth once they received harbour master’s / boatswain’s consent. We need to remember that at the end of the canal there is a bulk cargo port (industrial basin), to which ships arrive through a fairly narrow river.

When entering Darłowo, you need to bear in mind that the entry is guarded by a sliding bridge, and the Wieprza River is very frequently navigated by fairly large “pirate” ships. Furthermore, up to 75-metre long bulk carriers call at port in Darłowo. Therefore, yachts must have an operational engine and the crew must exercise considerable caution.

bridge opens, “pirate” ships sail past it, then they make a turn and head on their way back. Immediately behind the bridge there is a water bus stop running between Darłowo and Darłówko. The marina is located a little further away.

While approaching directly ahead of the entry to Darłowo, on the portside we will see an eastern breakwater jutting out straight into the sea (over 400 m long) and on the starboard there will be a slightly bent western breakwater (464 m), sheltering an outer harbour and a small western wing. On the right, a small lighthouse building will emerge. When entering the port, keep close to the western breakwater, while on the left-hand side you will have a view of the outer harbour. In the future, a luxurious marina – Marina Royale will be built in the outer harbour.

Jana z Kolna 7 tel. +48 91 434 55 61, fax. 91 434 22 63 e-mail: sekretariat@zegluga.szn.pl www.zegluga.szn.pl Within the framework of the project called “Construction of a network of sailing spots in the region of Dąbie Lake in Szczecin”, four such locations will be created – three will be situated on the Święta River: Kwadrat Spot, Głębia Spot, Orły Spot (at the mouth of the river into Dąbie Lake); and one on the Wydrnik Canal: Wydrnik Spot.

The project of sailing spots assumes the creation of berthing sites for small vessels navigating the area of Dąbie Lake. Partial roofing will provide shelter from inclement weather, a place to prepare hot meals, or e.g. for the organization of educational meetings about nature with young people. The visual form of created spots will relate to the character of their immediate surroundings. The idea of creating sailing spots originated at the Yacht Captains’ Club in 2010 and since then it has been carried out by Szczecin City Hall.

Wydrnik Sailing Spot (the Serpent Canal). The project will be realized in the vicinity of the Wydrnik Canal in the southern part of Radolin Island. The planned berthing site will be intended for mooring of 5 sailing yachts or motor yachts and 5 fishing boats or kayaks. Caution – the canal is thickly overgrown: φ=53°27’29.08”N, λ=14°36’56.46”E. Głębia Sailing Spot. The project will be realized on the Święta River in the southern part of Dębina Island. The berthing site will be

available for mooring of 5 sailing yachts or motor yachts as well as 5 fishing boats or kayaks. φ=53°28’03.22”N, λ=14°37’21.59”E. Kwadrat Sailing Spot. At the end of the 19th century a small workshop constructing little, wooden rowing boats was located at the spot. When the Western Oder was being widened (approx. 1925), a shallow canal was dredged there which served as a landing stage for small sailing and fishing boats. After World War II, the remains of heavy fuel (mazout) collected from the vessels prepared for repairs at Szczecin Repair Shipyard were stored in a hollow between the bank of the Święta River and the canal. It was then that the western section of the canal was filled in, while its southern section was widened and dredged. That is how a decidedly square-shaped basin was formed, commonly known as Kwadrat (Square).

The area designated for the project is located in the vicinity of the Święta River, in the southern part of Dębina Island. The projected stopover spot will be intended for mooring of 5 sailing yachts or motor yachts as well as 10 fishing boats or kayaks. φ=53°27’40.10”N, λ=14°36’24.79”E. Orły Sailing Spot. The projected spot is located in the vicinity of the outlet of the Święta River into Dąbie Lake, in the northern part of Dębinka Island. The berthing site will be designed for mooring of 5 sailing yachts or motor yachts as well as 10 fishing boats or kayaks φ=53°28’11.23”N, λ=14°38’54.17”E.

Concrete ship. It is a hull of “Ulrich Finsterwalder” tanker which sank to the bottom of Dąbie Lake. The ship was built during Work War II in Darłowo. During the war the tanker carried synthetic petrol from a petrol plant in Police to Świnoujście. The ship measured 90 meters in length, 15 meters in width; it had 6.5 meters of draught and the internal volume of 2947 BRT. It was bombed on 20 March 1945 by the Soviet air force at Szczecin port.

After the war, the wreck was towed to Inoujście (mouth of the Ina River) and sunk there. At the turn of the 1970’s and 1980’s, at the

initiative of a divers’ association operating at Adolf Warski shipyard, the wreck was lifted and its transport to Dąbie was commenced, where it was meant to serve as a swimming pool. However, on account of soms technical issues the idea was abandoned and the ship was transported back to Inoujście, where it was grounded and turned into a tourist attraction. Each year musical concerts are held on-board the concrete ship, inter alia, “Jazz on the concrete ship”. The ship can also be observed while navigating the Oder in the direction of Świnoujście, when Babina Island is passed.
