Submerged Forest at Łącka Dune

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

Lackawanna Dune

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautiful and well-known dune and elevation of variable height (it's a dune, so it's mobile!), approximately 30 meters above sea level, on the Łeba Spit. Beautiful, fantastic views – a truly unique natural wonder.

Łącka Dune

Highlight • Natural Monument

Passage is zero here because the highest points of the large shifting dune reach a good 50 meters. All of this a fine sandy subsoil where hiking also causes a little difficulty. So pushing and carrying is the order of the day.

Trail to Łącka Dune

Highlight • Trail

The expanses and the mountains of sand are gigantic. The wind on the beach is strong. The route is easily accessible on foot. Allow 4 hours to enjoy the tour.

Really impressive how big the shifting dunes are here. The ascent in the sand is also not without - much more exhausting than on a firm ground.

Leaning Pine Forest in Słowiński National Park

Highlight • Forest

The unique landscape of the seashore, beach lakes, moor areas and rivers creates a habitat for a total of 270 species of birds.
The most distinctive element of the national park are the shifting dunes between the coastal lakes and the Baltic Sea. If you take a walk on the Leba Spit between the 40 meter high sand walls in midsummer, you will quickly understand why this area is also called the “Polish Sahara”. Central Europe's largest shifting dunes in terms of area move about two to ten meters to the east each year.
