Eagle Hill

Highlight • Summit

The local hill, which is as high as 32 meters, is the highest elevation on Sobieszewska Island. It is worth "climbing" here because although there are no spectacular views, the terrain is very varied.

Babola Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Babola viewing tower is a popular viewpoint in the Ptasi Raj (Bird Paradise) nature reserve on Sobieszewo Island (Bohnsacker Island) in the east of Gdańsk. The tower offers you fantastic panoramic views of the lake, the wetland, and the surrounding birdlife.
The nature reserve is located in the Gdańsk district of Świbno (Schiewenhorst).
The classic circular route to the viewing tower and through the bird paradise is just under
9 km long and takes about 2 to 2.5 hours. The path is easy to walk, flat, and family-friendly. Besides the tower, a stone dam offers great views of the Wisła Śmiała (Kühne Weichsel) river and the Baltic Sea.
