The Slowinski Coast
Broad, sandy beaches, with a string of dunes parallel to the shoreline, several lagoon lakes which once were sea bays, tall cliffs and wonderful bathing spots... all of this awaits along the Slowinski Coast, which stretches from the mouth of the Parseta River all the way to Cape Rozewie. The most important natural sight of the region is the Slowinski National Park, where one can adore the moving dunes, resembling a desert. Strong winds cause the sand to migrate inland, overflowing everything in its path. Thus the monstrous dunes, the tallest of which is the over forty-metre-tall Lacka Mountain, are moving with a speed of several metres per year, consuming the surrounding forest. The prize for conquering this "desert" is a wonderful, broad beach at the foot of the walking dunes. Due to the irreplaceability of the nature and landscape, the park was introduced in the year 1997 to the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves. The largest city close to the park is Leba, which, apart from its natural values, offers attractions such as a dinosaur park and a modern sailing marina.
