Northern lights in Gdańsk tonight

A narrow sand spit 35 km long that juts north-east from the Tri-City into the open Gulf of Gdańsk. The northern shore faces the open Baltic Sea with a wide unobstructed horizon. Outside the summer season the towns of Hel, Jurata, and Jastarnia are quiet and dark. The peninsula road runs along the crest giving elevated positions on both the sea and the bay side. One of the few places in Poland with both latitude advantage and a genuinely north-facing ocean horizon.

A coastal national park east of Słupsk, known for its extraordinary moving sand dunes up to 30 m high. The dune crests above the lake of Łebsko give elevated positions with an unobstructed northern view over the Baltic. Virtually no development exists on the park's coast. The nearby town of Łeba is small and dark in winter. This is the best Bortle Class 2 position on the Polish Baltic coast - comparable in darkness to the most remote locations in the Baltic states.

A lake-dotted post-glacial landscape south-west of Gdańsk, sometimes called Poland's little Scandinavia. The rolling morainic hills reach 329 m at Wieżyca, the highest point in the coastal lowlands. Dark sky values here are considerably better than in Gdańsk itself. The open hilltops give north-facing views with minimal light pollution from small villages. A practical option for Gdańsk residents who want improved sky darkness without a long drive.
