Swelina's Meander. The Swelina Stream is a 2.6 km long stream flowing along the border between Gdynia and Sopot and flowing into the Bay of Gdańsk. In the interwar period (1919-1939) as Der Grenzfluß (Potok Graniczny) it was Swelina part of the border between Poland and the Free City of Gdańsk. Free walks across the border on the beach ended with the beginning of World War II.
