Abstrakt
The Hel Peninsula fortifications are one of the largest and most interesting historic coastal fortification complexes in Poland. Built from the 1930s until demilitarisation at the end of the Cold War, they are now one of the biggest tourist attractions of the region. The article attempts to describe the history of their development, current state and selected problems related to their protection and adaptation for touristic purposes. This case-study shows that creating tourist attractions based on military heritage demands specific conditions and actions in order to be successful. It also appears that various problems related with twentieth century fortifications, especially from the Cold War era, are still waiting to be solved. The main conclusion is the need for complex studies and protection of historical fortifications in a broader context which can be obtained by creating a cultural park – a form of heritage registry in Poland protecting the cultural landscape.
