Did you know that while resting in the Blanechka's cottages, are you treading on land that may conceal a fortune? The surroundings of Wicie are not only beautiful beaches, but also a place shrouded in mystery, dating back to the Swedish Deluge.

Gold at the bottom of the lake?

The most famous local legend has it that in the 17th century a Swedish ship, fleeing a storm in the Baltic, tried to take refuge in the waters of the Lake Kopań (which formerly had a deeper connection to the sea). The vessel was to be loaded to the brim with valuables looted during the war.

According to legends, the ship sank in the muddy bottom of the lake with a whole cargo of gold and precious objects. Although many have tried to find the „Swedish gold”, Kopan Lake jealously guards its secrets to this day.

Mysterious hills and hidden tunnels

It is also said that some of the treasures may have been buried on the spit separating the lake from the sea - which is exactly where your favourite walking and cycling routes in Wicie run today. Some history seekers claim that under the dunes there may be the remains of ancient fortifications where valuables were hidden from the approaching army.

Why look for treasures in Vic?

Even if you don't find a chest full of gold coins, Wicie offers other equally valuable treasures:

• Amber after the storm - is the truest „gold of the Baltic”, which is easiest to find on the beach in Wicie precisely after strong winds.
• Peace of mind - A treasure that no amount of money can buy, and in our country there is an abundance of it.
• Unforgettable sunsets - The view of the sun hiding in the sea, observed from a dune in Wicie, is worth millions.
