💡 Tips
- The walk to the famous moving dunes and sunken forest can be long; rent a bike or take an electric cart near the park entrance.
- Baltic weather changes quickly, even in mid-summer. Always pack a windbreaker and a warm layer.
- Visit the sunken forest at low tide or after a coastal storm, when more of the ancient tree stumps are exposed.
- During peak season, parking fills up fast. Arrive early in the morning to secure a spot and enjoy the trails without crowds.
🍽 Food
Fresh from Baltic fishermen, commonly served with fries and a simple salad in coastal fryeries.
A savory local snack, best bought directly from a traditional smoking shed.
Look for local restaurants offering dumplings filled with fresh Baltic fish.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Look for certified amber jewelry in local artisan shops; raw pieces can sometimes be found on the beach after storms.
Jams and juices made from coastal sea buckthorn berries, sold in local markets.
Step off the main dune paths to explore the quiet, mystical pine forests.
Walk a few hundred meters away from the main entrances to find empty stretches of pristine white sand.

Człuchy is a low-key spot on the Polish Baltic coast, offering travelers a peaceful retreat away from the crowded holiday resorts. Set amidst pristine nature, this coastal settlement is surrounded by dense pine forests and the wild, windswept beaches of the Pomeranian Bay, making it a convenient destination for nature lovers. One of the most fascinating natural attractions in the region is the Zatopiony las koło Czołpina (the sunken forest near Czołpino). These mystical remains of ancient trees, emerging from the sand and seawater right on the beach, tell the story of a constantly shifting coastline. The beaches here are wide, featuring fine sand and are often completely deserted, first-rate for long walks. Local gastronomy is deeply rooted in Baltic fishing traditions. Visitors can enjoy freshly smoked fish, such as flounder, herring, or cod, at small, family-run smokehouses. These hearty, traditional dishes are a well-suited match for the cool marine climate and are often served with regional beer. Człuchy is also a fantastic starting point for outdoor activities. Its proximity to the Słowiński National Park means cyclists and hikers can explore extensive trails through forests and past massive moving sand dunes, which provide panoramic views of the untamed Baltic Sea.
