It’s actually a vast ridge of sand 40 meters high and it continually moves eastward. Rommel’s Afrika Korps trained in this desert during WWII.
We’re staying in a little sea coast city of Leba. To get to the dunes, we took a boat from the park entrance to the dunes trail head.
From the trail head we had to hike 2 kilometers, about 1.2 miles, to get to the base of the dunes. Then it was a matter of climbing to the soft sand to the top. (We’re not gaining any weight on this trip.) The dunes keep progressing and as they move they kill the trees.
Back in the city, we had no problem finding a good seafood dinner as this is quite a seaport for a fishing fleet.
Today we are going to move on to Gdansk.
