TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

It’s not just military enthusiasts who can experience an interesting choice of free time activities while exploring Blücher Bunkers. This German fortification is located on the western side of the Ustka port. The underground shelters can be explored individually or with a guide. The History Meeting Park was created here – a multimedia gallery showing the daily life of soldiers stationed in bunkers. The events that took place during the war in Ustka and its vicinity were shown on interactive screens and three-dimensional photos. In the summer season, you can also take advantage of an additional attraction – the shooting range.

Established on the initiative of Ustka bakers in 1998, the Museum of Bread has become one of the most interesting attractions of the city. Over two thousand exhibits have been gathered in the attic of the family bakery to bring you closer to the history of baking and confectionery. There we will see antique waffle irons, old dough kneading machines, almost a hundred-year-old candy vending machine and cooling cabinets operating without electricity. The impressive collection is complemented by archival family documentation as well as postcards and pictures about baking.

The inscription “Ustczanie sobie” (“The Ustka people to one another”) placed on one of the houses at Marynarki Polskiej Street definitely attracts attention.

The Mineralogical Museum is set in an unusual location. In the underground anti-aircraft shelter, you can see a rich exhibition of minerals and fossils. The museum also presents a large collection of shells from the seas and oceans around the world. The youngest visitors will definitely get captured by the dinosaur skeleton at the end of the hundred-meter long corridor. In a tiny shop next to the entrance to the bunker, you can buy original ornaments made of semi-precious stones and numerous souvenirs from Ustka.

The museum presents a large collection of various amber. Here you can see specimens caught from the sea, found in the fields, sea rock nuggets with barnacles, characteristic specimens called drops or the so-called “horseman’s pick”. The largest rock nugget on display in the facility weighs as much as 1,776 grams. Collections are presented in nine thematic rooms. Among them one may find a room devoted to inclusions (both animal and plant), a cinema room (where a 20-minute film is played), an amber forest, a room with utility exhibits or one where you can see the largest and most interesting specimens. The youngest tourists will probably enjoy the workshop room, where they can try their hand at amber processing (children can grind and polish the amber nuggets). Very interesting are utility exhibits gathered here, e.g. various pendants, ornaments, rosaries, paintings or even pipes. In the course of exploring, we will learn methods for checking the authenticity of amber, when to look for it and how to recognize it, ways of processing amber in the past and how it is done today.
