Description
Join a journey to one of Poland’s most extraordinary natural wonders – the moving dunes of Łeba in Słowiński National Park. After pickup, travel towards Rąbka, the gateway to the dunes area. From there, continue on foot, by bicycle, or by electric melex shuttle through scenic forest paths and open landscapes.
The highlight of the tour is the vast shifting sand dunes, constantly shaped by strong Baltic winds. You will visit Łącka Góra, the highest dune in the area, offering panoramic views over both the Baltic Sea and Lake Łebsko. Along the way, you will also see the famous “Dead Forest,” a hauntingly beautiful area of preserved pine trunks slowly uncovered by moving sands.
The landscape is dynamic and ever-changing, with sand slowly migrating across the park each year, burying old vegetation and reshaping the terrain. This creates a surreal, desert-like environment known as the “Polish Sahara.” The entire area is part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, ensuring protected wildlife and untouched nature.
This tour is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience one of the most unique coastal landscapes in Europe.
