Słowiński National Park was established in 1967. Covering an area of 327.4 km², it is home to Lake Łebsko, forests, marshes and Lake Gardno, as well as some 500 ha of shifting dunes. This pine-covered sandbar, which separates Lake Łebsko from the Baltic Sea, advances slowly under the wind, moving eastwards and inland, burying the forest in its path. Some dunes move up to 10 m per year. At 42 m, the Góra Łącka dune is the highest in the park. Not far away is the former military base from which, during the Second World War, the Afrikakorps launched V1 and V2 missiles at England. The grey dunes of Czołpino are also very beautiful, and here you can climb up to the lighthouse (Latarnia Morska).

The dunes can be reached via an almost 5-kilometer trail starting from the Rąbka parking lot, where you can leave your car (please note that the parking lot in question is subject to a charge, so plan ahead for this expense). From here, you can continue on foot, by bike or you can take a small electric train which, before dropping you off at the foot of the dunes, makes a stop at the former German base. The bike rental and train departure point is next to the parking lot.

In addition to trails and paths, there are two main hiking trails in the park. These will take you through the park from north to south. We recommend a visit to this must-see Polish national park.

La plus grande attraction à Łeba est les vastes dunes mouvantes.
Dunes dans le parc national de Słowiński est la plus grande ceinture de dunes en mouvement en Europe.
Un véritable désert de sable situé sur une petite barre entre la mer Baltique et le lac de Łebsko.
Le vent fait bouger les dunes et atteint une hauteur de plusieurs dizaines de mètres.
L'inconvénient de ce phénomène est qu'ils couvrent les forêts côtières, les marécages et même les zones habitées.
Les plus grands changements dans le paysage se produisent à l'automne et au printemps pendant les tempêtes dans la Baltique.
Le sable se déplace déjà dans le vent, qui souffle à une vitesse de 5 mètres par seconde.
