The educational trail on Westerplatte was opened in June 2011. It complements the open-air exhibition "Westerplatte: a Spa – a Bastion – a Symbol", focusing the attention of visitors on the architecture and topography of the area.
Information boards have been placed along the path, the purpose of which is to familiarize visitors with what the peninsula looked like during the September fighting. The trail is also a guide to the facilities of the former Military Transit Depot, which operated on the peninsula between 1926–1939, and is designed to make it easier for visitors to explore the area on their own. The boards contain historical photos, sketches and maps. All information is provided in Polish and English.
