SIGHTSEEING ŁEBA MOVING DUNES IN SŁOWIŃSKI NP
Climbing the dune Łącka Góra (42 m tall) in the National Park is a must. There is no boardwalk available so you need to walk over the sands to get there. The park offers many more attractions and activities. There is a biking route going through the park, six hiking trails and two kayak routes. Amateur fishing is allowed in four catching areas both from the coast and from a boat – boating on the lakes is only permitted in a few designated areas. There are six sightseeing towers as well as six sightseeing piers on the lakes. There are two museums in the park: one focused on natural history and the other one describing the ethnography of the region. The park employees provide field educational services for individuals and groups, for reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the Park’s website is in Polish only.
