Desert in Poland
For those
who didn’t know – yes, we’ve got a desert in Poland! It’s located in the north
of Poland, between Rowy and Łeba - two
little seaside towns. The towns are very picturesque and peaceful, but don’t visit
them in high season, otherwise the only thing you’ll see will be the crowd of
tourists.
The desert is very unusual, cause it consists of the ‘moving dunes’. As waves and wind carry sand inland, the dunes slowly move, at a speed of 3 to 10 meters per year. Some dunes are quite high - up to 30 meters. The ‘moving dunes’ are regarded as a curiosity of nature on a European scale! To see it with your own eyes, go for a trip to Słowiński National Park. The highest peak of the Park – Rowokol (115 meters above sea level) – is also an excellent observation point :) You'll see not onlu the biggest amount of sand ever, but also Łebsko lake, which surrounds the dunes from the southern side.
What else? In the park you can sightsee the original German airborne rocket launcher from II World War; the old Kashebian village named Kluki... And after all this - take a long sunbath at the sandy beaches of the Baltic Sea coast :)
How to get there?
By bus: Take POLSKI BUS to Gdańsk. Then catch a train to Lębork. From Lębork, there are buses to Łeba (5 pln, all day long). This is a very good connection all year long.
By train: There are trains both to Łeba and Lębork. Most of thyem are during the night. However, many of them are only during the high season. When you travel different time than summer - check your train on www.pkp.pl.

SEA some street art (part 1)
Why 'sea'? Because Gdańsk is a lovely city at the Polish seaside (To read more about Gdańsk on our blog click here). It's famous for its Old Town, sculpture of Neptun, one of the most beautiful streets in the world (really!), Westerplatte battle and unbelievably rich history. It's a good place to exercise your eyes not only in sightseeing but also in 'streetseeing'. While walking around all the places of interest try to see something more than the old buildings :)

The haunted house
Have you ever seen a real haunted house? I have! While walking around the area of Gdańsk called Oliwa (more about Gdańsk here!) I've seen an 'artistic' haunted house. Great place to visit on Halloween! Click here to find it on a map.

Somewhere in Poland (2) - 843 km of beaches
I like the sea with it's faraway horizon, but I rarely go to the seaside, and never in the summer. I simply do not like this holiday atmosphere - noisy crowds, fastfoods, kitsch souvenirs and smell of fried fish. I'm looking for places when I can contemplate the horizon without seeing it through someone's deckchair. Poland has 843 kilometers of coast line, so it's still possible to find such place. Recently I've camped on a high cliff, 10 km east of Ustka. Wild camping is officially not allowed in Poland but (not officially) it's tolerated (except for national parks), finding a place for tent it's very easy in comparison to Western Europe.
See this place on google maps.
Othere places somewhere in Poland:
Somewhere in Poland - my favourite bridge
Somewhere in Poland (3) - The Far East
Somewhere in Poland (4) - Water way to the border
