The seaside village of Rozewie is a real treat – a sight to behold. Finding Poland’s summer bonanza rolls on with a review of this little gem of a village.
THE SEASIDE VILLAGE OF ROZEWIE
Holidaymakers staying in the nearby town of Władysławowo certainly won’t regret it if they drive ten minutes up the coast to Rozewie for a half-day trip.
The main draws in Rozewie are the 19th-century lighthouse with a small museum, Cape Rozewie Nature Reserve (Rezerwat Przyrody Przylądek Rozewski), the Seaside Landscape Park (Nadmorski Park Krajobrazowy) and the Lisi Jar wildlife refuge and forest ravine with a trail to the beach.
PARKING UP NEAR ROZEWIE LIGHTHOUSE
There is a spacious car park adjacent to Latarnia Park food court on Aleja Leona Wzorka. Parking costs seven zloties for a passenger car.
Approaching the lighthouse on Leona Wzorka, the “Zaślubiny Polski z Morzem” can be seen on the left hand side. “Zaślubiny Polski z Morzem” means “Poland’s Wedding to the Sea”. In essence, Poland’s Wedding to the Sea was a ceremony intended to symbolize reinstated Polish access to the Baltic Sea that was lost in 1793 by the Partitions of Poland. In other words, the three partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The ceremony was first performed on February 10, 1920, by General Józef Haller in the coastal town of Puck.
Opposite the Polish Wedding to the Sea monument is the temporarily closed Blizarium Rozewskie Pod Patronatem museum. The museum holds exhibitions which show the history of the creation of the lighthouse and sea navigation.
