A coastal lake
Łebsko is one of the largest lakes in Poland — shallow, brackish (fed at times by seawater) and separated from the Baltic by a belt of shifting dunes. Its reed-fringed shores are an important refuge for birds, protected within the national park.
How to see it
- A boat trip — a popular way of reaching the dunes
- Birdwatching — hides and nature paths
- Cycling — routes around the lake and through the park
- Quiet and nature — a contrast to the bustle of Łeba's beach
Good advice
This is protected ground — keep to the marked trails and boardwalks. A trip across the lake combines well with an expedition to the shifting dunes: some of the transport routes into the park go by water.
