The Gdańsk Head (Polish: Gdańska Głowa; German: Danziger Haupf) is the location of the confluence of the Vistula and Szkarpawa rivers, in the village of Drewnica, Pomeranian Voivodeship. It was the site of fortifications that existed only in the 17th century; a lock built in 1895 exists here to this day.
