Moving dunes are a natural phenomenon of the Słowiński National Park and a unique tourist attraction. They are located between Łebsko Lake and the sea.

They were formed from the accumulation of sand washed ashore by sea waves in the amount of 130,000 km2 of beaches. Sand dried by the wind and the sun, blown inland by strong winds, creates high dunes (from 30 to 40 m high) with the highest forty-two-meter Łącka Dune.

For centuries, they have been moved east and south-east at a rate of 1.2-1.6 m per year. The power of a wandering dune is enormous, as it threatens vegetation and buries everything it encounters on its way. Its power depends on the strength of the wind, the height of the slope, the face of the dune and the terrain.

The shifting sands create a beautiful desert landscape, unique in Europe, often called the Polish Sahara. The dunes are made of sea, humus-free sand, they are white in color. Since their inception, plants have been trying to establish themselves on this barren and unfavorable ground. To survive, however, they must be resistant to the salinity of the substrate, backfilling and the high temperature of sand heated on hot days
