Venture into one of northern Poland’s wild coastal landscapes on this 5-6 hour private tour of the west side of the Mewia Łacha Nature Reserve. Listed as a “Not to be missed” site on Birdingplaces.eu, this peaceful yet dramatic reserve is a vital refuge for breeding and migratory seabirds, including several gull and tern species. The route requires moderate fitness due to sandy and uneven dune terrain—but it’s well worth the effort for the sheer number of bird species that can be spotted along the way. Wander through quiet pine forest and shifting dunes to reach the Vistula Spit viewpoint, an ideal spot for observing coastal birds and often grey seals resting on distant sandbanks. A truly scenic and rewarding experience for nature lovers.
Nearly 100 species of water and marsh birds have been recorded within the reserve, not including the many other bird species that inhabit the surrounding forests.

What To Expect
Mewia Lacha Reserve
This 5-hour private nature walk covers a 6.5 km loop through the west side of the Mewia Łacha Nature Reserve, located on the easternmost tip of Sobieszewo Island. Rated moderate due to sandy and uneven terrain, the route begins in quiet pine woodland before joining a cobbled trail alongside the Vistula River. An early observation point provides a chance to spot a variety of duck species and, with luck, elegant grey herons. The path then leads into more challenging dune terrain, where wild roses bloom and the air is alive with damselflies and dragonflies. At the far end of the spit, we reach a raised viewing platform overlooking distant sandbars—an excellent spot for observing grey seals through binoculars. After soaking in the views, we follow the coastal path before looping back through forest, rounding off a rich and varied experience in one of Poland’s top birding locations.
