The 186-sq-km Słowiński National Park (Słowiński Park Narodowy; 059 811 7204; adult/concession 4/2zł; 7am-9pm May-Sep, 8am-4pm Oct-Apr) takes up the 33km stretch of coast between Łeba and the fishing tourist village of Rowy, complete with two large lakes, the Łebsko and the Gardno, and their surrounding belts of peat bog, meadows and woods. It’s named after the Slav tribe of the Slovincians (Słowińcy), a western branch of the Kashubians whose descendants inhabited this part of the coast right up until the 19th century. In 1977 the park was included on Unesco’s list of World Biosphere Reserves.
