fot.POT Łeba, Hotel NeptunOur suggested route starts at Łeba - one of the best-known spots on the Polish coast. Its popularity is thanks to both its natural beauty and its man-made tourist infrastructure. This town announced the creation of the Łeba ’Principality’, whose passports, money and postcards raise quite an interest from tourists. The area is famous for its shifting dunes, its beautiful, wide and sandy beaches and its microclimate, characterised by a large content of iodine. This place is also popular due to its rich offer for water sports lovers, such as: windsurfing, ocean sailing and inland sailing and fishing, among  other sports.
The shifting dunes are one of the biggest attractions in the region. They are part of the Slovincian National Park. These sand hills have been included in the UNESCO list of World Biosphere Reserves. The Slovincian National Park is also included in the international RASMAR convention, which is involved in the protection of habitats of water birds and waders. The location, size and shape of these dunes are constantly changing, depending on the wind force and amount of sand thrown inland by the sea. It’s a must to climb to the top of the highest peak of these moving dunes, Łącka Hill (Góra Łącka) (approx. 45m above sea level); from where there’s an unforgettable view. A great attraction of this region are the huge flocks of crane, which have the biggest colonies in the country here. On the way to the dunes, we pass Rąbka, where you can admire the rocket launchers from WW II. You can see how they tested ballistic missiles and anti-air guns. From here it’s worth taking an ecological boat ride to the village of Kluki, where there is one of the most beautiful ethnographic parks in the country – a reconstructed old Slovincian village. The Slovincian settlers, who effectively resisted Germanisation of the 19th century, left material souvenirs, thanks to which three farms were created. In the summer season the museum, as well as the proposed tour of the site, organises many other attractions for tourists, such as: exhibits of fabrics and yarn, sewing fishing nets, cooking bread, digging turf.
From there it’s really not far to Rowokol Hill – an Ice Age elevation 115 metres above sea level, located near the town of Smołdzino, 6km from the sea. There are many myths and legends associated with this place. The Slovincians acknowledged this as a holy hill, and it was treated as a centre for the Marian cult in the Middle Ages. The hill was also a hiding place for highwaymen and according to legend, it was here that they buried a lot of their loot. At the peak of the hill is a vantage point from which there is a beautiful view of lakes Gardno and Łebsko, the extensive dunes and the Baltic coastline. To complete the tour of this land of sand hills, it’s a great idea to watch the sunset from one of the neighbouring lighthouses. One of them is at Czołpino. This is a peaceful place 20km from Łeba. It attracts tourists who want to escape from the hustle and bustle of seaside resorts. The lighthouse, which is visible from 1000m away is the biggest attraction here. It is located in the middle of the nature reserve, and in the summer season you can climb to the top and admire a panorama of the area. The second lighthouse in this area is the Stilo lighthouse, 34m high, which serves both a practical and a touristic purpose.
