Why Słowiński National Park matters

Few people expect a desert-like landscape on the Baltic coast. In Słowiński National Park, tall sand dunes slowly shift inland, burying trees and forming a stark landscape on the edge of the sea. Paths and bike routes let you walk to the dunes from the village of Łeba, and the beach beyond is wide and often empty. It is best from late spring to early autumn.

Talking points

  • The dunes move slowly inland, burying forest as they go.
  • The beach beyond them is wide and often quiet.
