Trzęsacz is famous for the ruins of a church built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, situated in the middle of the village, about 2 kilometers away from the Baltic Sea shore. For centuries, the church was approaching the cliff "eaten away" by the sea. In 1874, it became clear that the church could not be saved, and the furnishings were moved to the cathedral in Kamień. In 1901, part of the church collapsed onto the beach."Abrazja - erosion process occurs on steep, rocky shores. It involves the undermining and weakening of high edges called cliffs by sea waves, tides, and ebbs. As a result, the cliff becomes fragmented and rounded."The above is a purely scientific definition of the causes of the landslides in Trzęsacz. Much more interesting and colorful legends describe the reasons for the erosion of one of the most beautiful seaside cliffs in Pomerania. One of them is associated with the great love of two young people, here it is:"In Trzęsacz, there lived a fisherman named Kaźko, who loved Ewka, a girl from the neighborhood. The boy died in battles with the Brandenburgians, and his beloved died of grief and was buried by the church. Since then, Kaźko, hidden in the waves of the turbulent sea, tries to reach her. The lovers are to be reunited for eternity when the cliff with the last part of the church collapses into the waters of the Baltic."It is unknown whether the legend will ever come true. You can still admire the western wall of the Gothic church, and the cliff and shore are constantly fortified by the Maritime Office in Szczecin to prevent further abrasion by storm waves – such are the twists of fate :). A beautiful viewing platform leads to the beach in this place.The second legend associated with the Church in Trzęsacz is related to the obstinacy of people and tells the story of the daughter of the sea king:"Centuries ago, fishermen caught the daughter of the sea king. The unfortunate girl died in captivity and was buried in the church cemetery. The desperate father decided to reclaim his child and year after year, he took another piece of land from the village until he reached the church and took his daughter's grave to the depths of the Baltic."We recommend visiting this one of the most beautiful and romantic scenic spots in Poland.

In the 17th century, a Swedish ship wrecked near Rozewie. The entire crew, including the captain, perished, except for the captain's daughter, who was saved by a local fisherman. Grief-stricken, she settled in Rozewie and decided to light a bonfire on the hill every night to prevent similar tragedies. Some say the local population helped her in this endeavor. The captain's daughter continued to light the bonfires every night until her death. It is believed that the ship struck a rock known by fishermen as the "devil's rock" or "demon stone," under which, according to local tales, the devil resides and drowns anything that comes within its reach.The lighthouse in Rozewie was built in 1822 on the site of an earlier wooden structure, which supposedly existed since the 17th century. Due to the surrounding forest, it was raised twice: in 1910 and 1978, eventually reaching a height of 32.7 meters. Before the war, the lighthouse was visited by Stefan Żeromski, which is why it bears his name.In 1961, a small exhibition dedicated to the writer was set up in the lighthouse, later expanded to include the exhibition "History of Maritime Lighthouses." From May to September, the museum exhibitions are open to tourists from 10 am to 2 pm and from 3 pm to 6 pm. In other months, visits are possible only by prior arrangement.The octagonal lighthouse, built in 1875, served as an auxiliary structure. In 1910, after the older lighthouse was raised, it was decommissioned. Next to it stands an obelisk commemorating the reclamation of the coastline by Poland and a bust of Żeromski.

Collection considered one of the largest in Europe. It comprises 6,500 species and over 2 million specimens. It's hard to believe that it all began 40 years ago with a cactus in a pot on the windowsill. The acquaintance with another cactus enthusiast resulted in importing the first seeds from Hamburg. Over time, these prickly plants displaced our native vegetables and flowers. In 1982, cacti and succulents already occupied the entire area of the 1,266 m2 greenhouse and ground cultivation. Among them, the Texan varieties stand out, reaching over 7 meters in height, as well as "mother-in-law's chairs" - round cacti with a diameter of one meter, and very rarely flowering in the collection, Haageocerus versicolor and Cereus peruvianus with their blooming underlay.The collection in Rumia has been repeatedly awarded at various national and international exhibitions. Its headquarters is here, at the Gdańsk Branch of the Polish Cactus Lovers Society. An attractive place on the coast, frequently visited by numerous tours. As a souvenir from the seaside, you can purchase a prickly plant here.
