About This Anchorage
A secluded cove on the northern lagoon face of Wolin Island within Wolin National Park. Access is only by water — there are no roads to this section of the island. The cove provides good shelter in the enclosed lagoon environment and gives access to the remarkable national park forest and wildlife. The European bison (żubr) population roams the interior of the island — they can occasionally be spotted at the forest edge near the water. White-tailed eagles are frequently seen overhead. The very low salinity lagoon water creates a unique ecological zone where freshwater and very slightly brackish habitats overlap.
