Big lagoon full of birds and one of the biggest European nesting sites of Great Cormorant and many other birds.
The Zalew Wiślany (Lagoon) is a great area for birding. The lagoon is a nesting site for Great Cormorant, Red-crested Pochard, Common Shelduck, Northern Shoveler, Savi's Warbler and White-tailed Eagle, to name just a few. Over 150 species nest in the lagoon, as well as in lake Drużno nearby, including Great Bittern, Little Bittern, White Stork and Garganey. Moreover, species such as Smew, Greater White-fronted Goose, Northern Pintail, Little Gull and many others migrate to, from and through places along the lagoon.
The area can be explored by bicycle trails stretching near the reserves borders. So best way to explore is on bike. An interesting proposal is, for example, the route Krynica Morska to Kąty Rybackie (16 km), stretching across much of the Spit. To the west from Krynica, between Przebrno and Skowronki, is a fine viewpoint over the Zatoka Gdańska [Gulf of Gdańsk]. Another one, which allows for observation of the west coast of the lagoon, can be found in the area of the mouth of the Wisła Królewiecka river.
