  Frisches Haff - LoveToKnow 1911
FRISCHES HAFF, a lagoon on the Baltic coast of Germany, within the provinces East and West Prussia, between Danzig and Konigsberg.
This barrier was torn open by a storm in 1510, and the channel thus formed, now dredged out to a depth of 22 ft., affords a navigable passage for vessels.
Into the Haff flow the Nogat, the Elbing, the Passarge, the Pregel and the Frisching, from the last of which the name Frisches Haff probably arose.

 Lady of Königsberg :: Wartime Königsberg 1939 - 1945 Kriegszeit Königsberg
Long convoys, or treks, of refugees began snaking out of Königsberg and other East Prussian towns, crossing the frozen Frisches Haff to Pillau and the seaward side of the Frisches Nehrung, where one of the largest seabourne evacuations of the war was underway.
Other Königsbergers decided to stay, although in March many were evacuated into the countryside and the resort towns on the Samland coast, leaving the city in the hands of its defenders under the command of General Lasch.
The ice on the Frisches Haff was frequently shattered by enemy fire, and unknown numbers of people drowned in the freezing waters.

But it was still early and I wanted to see the "Haff", which is a bay divided from the Baltic Sea by a long and narrow peninsula, called "Nehrung".
So I decided to turn south pretty soon and to skip the interesting things that I might have considered worth while seeing in West Prussia and Western East Prussia, for example Marienburg (Polish: Malbork) or the Nehrung of the Haff.
On the national highway N 54 I cycled through forests until I reached the N 22 again, which had slightly more traffic here, but could still be considered almost empty.
