Leba is situated at the end of Leba River, between Lebsko Lake and Slovinski National Park-which is listed as National UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
People from all over the world come here to see great sand dunes. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that, as the wind blows it carries the sand and the dunes move slowly inland at a speed of 3-10 cm per year. Some dunes are as high as 30 meters above sea level.
The pine forests cover 80% of the whole Park and are inhabited by 257 species of birds. The most interesting are: erne, eagle, owl, crow and swan. Among mammals one has to point out: deer, elk, wild pig and hare.
One of the things the people of Leba are proud of are the white sand beaches. Last year they were voted the cleanest beaches on the Polish coast. They are also surrounded by dunes and pine forests and the sunsets and sunrises are the most spectacular in Europe.
The Baltic Sea provides all sort of sea food. Leba’s restaurants buy fish directly from the fishermen and you can be sure that the fish you are eating for dinner was caught the very same morning.
