Description
The Zalew Wiślany (Lagoon) is a great area for birding. The lagoon is a nesting site for (Ευρωπαϊκός) Κορμοράνος, (Ευρασιατικό) Φερεντίνι, Βαρβάρα, (Ευρασιατική) Χουλιαρόπαπια, Καλαμοτριλιστής and (Ευρωπαϊκός) Θαλασσαετός, to name just a few. Over 150 species nest in the lagoon, as well as in lake Drużno nearby, including (Ευρασιατικός) Ήταυρος, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Μικροτσικνιάς, Λευκός Πελαργός and (Ευρωπαϊκή) Σαρσέλα. Moreover, species such as Νανοπρίστης, Ασπρομέτωπη Χήνα, Ψαλίδα (του Βορά), Νανόγλαρος and many others migrate to, from and through places along the lagoon.

Access
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.
