The Vistula Gorge ( Wisła Śmiała in Polish ) is a 2.5 km long estuary of the Vistula in the Gdańsk Bay near the city of Gdańsk in Poland .

The Vistula Gorge separates the islands of Wyspa Portowa in the west and Wyspa Sobieszewska in the east. The bird paradise nature reserve ( Rezerwat Ptasi Raj ) is located on the east bank and the Green Islands nature reserve ( Zielone Wyspy ) to the west . The Vistula shipyard and the sailing center Narodowe Centrum Żeglarstwa are located at the northern end of the Vistula Gorge .

history

The arm was created on the night of February 1 and 2, 1840, when the narrow and low dune 300 meters in length gave way to the pressure of the ice jam and the river found a new outlet into the Baltic Sea. The village of Neufähr was divided into two parts: East of Neufähr (today: Górki Wschodnie ) and West of Neufähr (Górki Zachodnie) . The new estuary was called the Vistula Gorge. Wincenty Pol gave the Vistula the name "Wisła Śmiała" (translated bold Vistula ).
