Łeba

Łeba (pronounced 'Webah') is a resort city in Pomerania on the Baltic coast with a wide sandy beach. The Slowinski National Park, featuring the biggest sand dunes in Europe, is situated to the west of Łeba.

There is an abundance of architectural and natural attractions near Łeba, above all the Słowiński National Park with its moving sand dunes, about 8 kilometres (5 miles) west of the city. Further objects of interest include:

  • ruins of the Nikolaikirche (St. Nicholas church) west of the city on the way to the beach
  • fishermen's church of 1683 with a painting by Max Pechstein
  • fishermen's dwellings from the 19th century in Kosciuszki street
  • the 19th century casino on Nadmorska street, today the Hotel Neptun
  • former rocket test site near Pletka[2]
  • the dinosaur park[3] south of the city

The Pomerelian settlement of Łeba was first mentioned in a 1282 deed. At that time the village was located about two kilometers (1.2 miles) west from the present mouth of the Łeba River. Łeba received municipal rights by the State of the Teutonic Order in 1357. Located at the Łebsko Lake at the Baltic Sea, it developed to a fishing port and a wood marketplace. With Lauenburg Land it became a Polish fief during the Thirteen Years' War in 1454, held by the Dukes of Pomerania.
