    Tips

    October 10, 2020

    The Lontzkedüne (Polish: Wydma Łącka) is the largest shifting dune on the Pomeranian Baltic coast. It has the shape of a sickle or a crescent moon and is part of the dune area, which covers an area of approximately 500 hectares. The natural dune lies on the 17 km long spit between the Lebasee and the Baltic Sea. It is between 30 and 42 meters high, about 1300 meters long and 500 meters wide and moves about 12 meters a year to the east due to the prevailing westerly winds. It buries the original landscape, forest and moor under itself. Łączka was buried by the dune in the past. On the west side leaning towards the wind, the dune has a slight slope, while on the side leaning towards the wind, the slope is very steep. From a wind speed of 18 km / h, the grains of sand begin to roll up the flat side until they fall down on the upper edge on the sheltered side. While the dune grows in height in spring and summer with rather weak winds, it flattens out in stronger winds in autumn and winter and then reaches a higher migration speed. On the back of the shifting dune, stump fields of former forests come to light.

    We were in Leba in January and experienced the power of the wind and certainly experienced the hiking of the dune more intensely than it can be experienced in summer.

      In the seson (July, August) bicycles, children's carriages and the like can be left guarded from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for 10 zlotych in front of the hiking trail. It is useful, for example, when conquering the route with babies and toddlers.
