Słowiński (Slovincian) National Park
Moving sand dunes, lakes and pine forest on Poland's Baltic coast
Sand dunes up to 30 metres high move inland at 3 to 10 metres a year, and the "moving dunes" are regarded as a curiosity of nature on a European scale. Behind them lie the lakes Łebsko and Gardno, former Baltic bays now cut off from the sea.
