Frische Nehrung
The Russian part of the Vistula Spit is only inhabited in its northernmost part, which belongs to the port town of Baltiysk and lies on the southern side of the Strait of Baltiysk. The Russian airbase Noytif (originally built as a German Luftwaffe airbase "Neu Tief") is located there and inhabited by around 1,000 people and personnel. It can be reached by ferry from the Baltiysk core area on the other side of the Strait.
