      During World War II, the Rumbke rocket test site was located here (west of Łeba), where long-range weapons systems were tested. Between 1941 and 1945, the German Rheinbote and Rheintochter rockets were launched from this site for experimental purposes. The counter-measurement station for the V2/A4 rockets launched from Test Stand VII of the Peenemünde Army Research Center was also located here. From there, the distance from here was 250 km, the maximum firing range of the A4 at the time. Between 1963 and 1973, 33 Polish Meteor sounding rockets were launched from the Rumbke/Leba test site. The test site is preserved as a museum.
