A fantastic viewing platform overlooking Lake Gardno. Beautiful views of the water, the pier is of good quality (which isn't necessarily true of all such platforms!), and there are benches and tables nearby if needed.

The cliff is increasingly being eroded by the sea. Several meters of land have disappeared in three years. The site itself, and the trail leading to it (from both sides), are still excellent.

Lake Gardno is a large, shallow body of water located within the boundaries of the Słowiński National Park, right next to the town of Rowy. Surrounded by reeds and marshes, it is an important haven for waterfowl, and its wild shores attract nature lovers. There are cycling routes around the lake, the most popular of which leads from Rowy to Gardna Wielka – suitable for trekking bikes, although it can be sandy in places. It is worth stopping at the observation tower on the route, from where there is a panorama of the lake and the shifting dunes in the distance.
