Apart from Wolin Park, Slovinski National Park is one of two seaside national parks in Poland. The Park is located between Łeba and Rowy, 115 km northwest of Gdańsk.
One of attractions of Slovinski National Park are moving dunes, which in the Park reach the height of dozens of meters, and are one of the largest in Europe. Huge sand mountains are deceptively similar to Sahara deserts. With a bit of luck, it is even possible to experience a sandstorm. Just like on a real desert, when going for a couple-hour hike, you cannot forget to take solid water supplies.
Slovinski National Park is unusual because in direct neighbourhood there are moving dunes, marshes, peat bogs, lakes and forests buried by dunes. In other locations, wind discovers dead stumps of trees buried in the past under the sand. It is worth to visit the Park early in the morning, before the crowds of tourist. Our tracks on dunes will be the first...
Slovinski National Park is located on the route of seasonal bird passage, and you can meet here eagle owls, cranes, black storks, ruffs. In winter, the Park is visited by birds from the north. In the forest you can encounter elks, foxes, racoon dogs and badgers.
The Park was named by Slovincians, a group of people who used to live by Gardno and Łebsko lakes. Slovincians called themselves Kashubians and used Kashubian dialect. Those who are interested in the history of this land should visit the open-air ethnographic museum in Kluki, located east of Smołdzino.
Considering unusual natural diversity, in 1977 Slovinski National Park was included in UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves.
