Attraction

If so, you may be a bit surprised by the fact that within the borders of the resort there is a landscape park. Ekopark Easternbecause that is what he is talking about, covers an area of approximately 381 hectares and is located in the north-eastern part of Kołobrzeg. It is surrounded to the north by the waters of the Baltic Sea, while to the east the area borders on the district of Podczele. Ekopark Wschodni was established by the City of Kołobrzeg in 1996 to protect a unique ecosystem built around a brackish peat bog called Solne Bagno, which consists of lush vegetation and wild animals.

How to visit the park?

A walking and cycling route runs through the Eastern Ecopark. Wooden footbridges make it easy to walk across the wetland and enjoy the lovely scenery. Along the way, you can stop at one of the many covered gazebos for a rest and a meal or use one of the several descents to the beach. The park stretches for about 3 kilometres along the coast, so it is best to plan a minimum of 2 hours for the tour.
