The biggest natural attraction of Wolin National Park is the beautiful, wild and highest seaside cliffs on the Polish coast, which stretch along the Baltic Sea coast to the east of Międzyzdroje and to the west of Wisełka.

Of course, the views! The wildness of the elements of earth, water and wind battling each other. Beautiful, dynamic compositions created by nature from sand, earth, stones, branches and tree trunks, which change every day.

Nice, although lower cliffs can also be found to the west of Międzywodzie (to the east of Świnoujście):

The highest Polish cliff: Gosań Mountain - how to get there?

Gosań Hill, about 4 km from the beach in Międzyzdroje, reaches a record height of 95 m (according to other sources 93 m). There is a viewpoint at its peak, but the railings have to be moved every year...

Access to the viewpoint is only from the Międzyzdroje - Wisełka road (small parking lot by the road).

From the top, from the viewpoint, you will see... the sea.

From below, from the beach level, the cliff is not marked, but all cliffs are beautiful! It's best to admire them while hiking along the coast, that is, the red trail:

An additional attraction of the cliff coast are the large boulders on the seashore, called Piast Boulders - perfect for a stop, picnic, or pretending to be a mermaid (or maybe a seal?) sunbathing on the shore.

While hiking along the cliffs, remember to wear good shoes (preferably rubber flip-flops/sandals) - numerous small stones can hurt bare feet.

Note! Remember that most of the coast of Wolin Island is part of the Wolin National Park, which means that all "park" restrictions apply to us, including a ban on bringing dogs.

There are no food points on the beach itself, the trail is long, so it's worth taking some provisions with you. The nearest bars are in Międzyzdroje and at the beach in Wisełka (bar right at the beach entrance).
