Efa Height
Huge dunes over 60 metres high with views of both the sea and the lagoon — the Baltic’s desert.
The trail at km 42 is named after Franz Epha, who stabilised the shifting dunes in the 19th century.
A boardwalk climbs to a viewpoint over white dunes, the lagoon and the forest.
The best place on the spit for sunset.
Tips
- Walking on the dunes is forbidden — they are fragile.
- Bring water and a hat.
- Come for sunset.
