Shifting dunesIt is not easy to believe but the 300m high dunes found in northern Poland do move, covering settlements and churches with sand. The wind makes them "walk", at a speed of up to 10 metres a year. While hiking through the Slowinski National Park located on the Baltic coast, visitors can observe how dead nature fights against living nature. Additionally, one can see the launching and test sites of V-1 rockets which were sent over London during World War II. Continuing our trip, we arrive to Kluki - a tiny hamlet with original fishermen’s cottages, populated by descendants of the Slovincians. From there, the itinerary brings us to the beautiful region of Kashubia, hilly, well forested and dotted with countless post-glacial lakes. After visiting the skansen at the village of Wdzydze Kiszewskie, the trail continues to a thousand years old Gdansk, and the busy port city of Gdynia, which was built within a period of a few years after WWI. |
