How we measure length and time

We worked out the length of the routes from OpenStreetMap data (footpaths and the shoreline). The time is a relaxed walking pace without stops. Walking on the beach is slower than on the promenade, especially on dry sand.

Some routes start at our apartments in the seaside district, but you can begin each one at any point along the way.

On routes across the Świna, remember that pedestrians travel on the free Bielik ferry (Warszów crossing). The ferries run all year round, day and night, and from autumn to spring some crossings are replaced by the P1 bus. You will find the timetable in our Ferries guide.
