Viewing platform
The panorama of the bay helps explain the settlement’s changing surroundings.
Idioma del contenido
The viewing platform overlooks Puck Bay and the Hel Peninsula. In clear weather, the panorama also includes Rewa with its sandy spit and the edge of Kępa Oksywska. This elevated viewpoint shows the settlement's waterside surroundings on a broader scale than the shoreline path.
The platform was planned on agricultural land beside the park. It is a modern structure for viewing the landscape, while the trail's houses and workshops recreate selected buildings from the past. It is not a reconstruction of a prehistoric tower.
Today's view differs from the surroundings of the earliest settlers. Around 7,500-6,500 years ago, the sea coast lay roughly 5-6 kilometres farther from the Rzucewo headland, and lakes occupied parts of what is now the bay.
Over the following millennia, sea levels rose and the water moved closer to the settlements. Peat layers preserved pollen and plant fragments. Pine, oak, alder, hazel and lime were among the trees identified. The panorama is therefore the present stage of a landscape whose changes are also studied beneath the ground.
The outdoor reconstructions and viewpoint are accessible all year, 24 hours a day.

The viewing platform looks out over Puck Bay and the Hel Peninsula. In good weather, you can also see Rewa and its sandy spit, as well as the area around Kępa Oksywska. The platform was planned on agricultural land. It is a modern structure for looking at the surroundings, not a recreated tower used by ancient inhabitants.
The landscape has changed greatly. Around 7,500-6,500 years ago, the sea coast was roughly 5-6 kilometres farther from the Rzucewo headland. Lakes lay where the bay stretches today. Later, the sea rose and its edge moved closer to the settlements.
How do we know what once grew here? Peat, a layer formed from plant remains, preserved pollen and pieces of plants. Researchers identified pine, oak, alder, hazel and lime. The view from above shows today's surroundings, while traces in the ground help reveal their earlier appearance.
