Stone Mountain in Gdynia
Stone Mountain is a viewpoint with a fascinating history. Rising 52 meters above sea level, my friends and i had a beautiful panorama of the city, including the port of Gdynia. You can reach the top on foot or take a quick ride on the roller coaster(just for 1 zloty). At the summit stands a large cross, symbolizing Gdynia. This is the third cross in the area, as the previous two were destroyed. The mountain was also once home to a residential estate for the city's elite, known for its architecturally interesting houses built in the modernist style. Today, it remains an exclusive and picturesque district. Stone Mountain is a must-visit destination in Gdynia, offering stunning views and a glimpse into the city's past.
