Transport
[edit]In 2013 a road bridge across the Vistula was opened as part of national road route 90 from Jeleń to Baldram. The bridge, connecting Opalenie to Kwidzyn, is the longest extradosed bridge in Europe[2] and replaced the previous crossing via reaction ferry from Gniew to Janowo.
History
[edit]The first mention of the village in historical sources dates back to 1365 in which it was named Opalin.[3]
By the 18th century the village and surrounding farmland belonged to the Czapski family. In 1773 the Czapski's commissioned the baroque church of the Saints Peter and Paul.[4]
In 1812 Napoleon Bonaparte spent a night in the village.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
