POLAND - BLOG & TRAVEL GUIDE

When I posted this photo on Facebook, my foreign friends didn't believe it was in Poland. Of course, the desert is clearly not the kind of association that comes with the thought of Poland. But Poland is actually a very diverse country. In addition to gorgeous beaches, mountains, and lakes, there are also sand dunes. Moreover, they are moving sand dunes!

In this blog post, you will find all the practical information you need to visit Slowinski National Park, Leba Poland, and sand dunes. It's an extraordinary place that should be on your Poland bucket list.
