Osłonino between the cliff and the lime tree avenue

• The Krawędzią Kępy Puckiej walking trail passes through Osłonino. One variant runs from the village towards the coast, as far as the foot of the Osłonino cliff.
• The old lime tree avenue runs from Osłonino about 1.3 km towards Rzucewo. Its trees stand in two rows, and in some places even four.
• The cliff is active in some sections and wooded in others. The adjoining beach is narrow and has large boulders.

On the Krawędzią Kępy Puckiej walking trail, the village and the coast are two distinct reference points: the trail passes through Osłonino, while one variant runs from the village towards the coast to the foot of the cliff. When planning, you can therefore distinguish between following the route through the village and heading towards the coast. Check for current trail updates before setting out.

The cliff alternates between wooded and active sections. The narrow adjoining beach with its large boulders forms a distinct coastal area. Those wishing to get a sense of the coastline can therefore consider the character of the cliff and the beach separately.

The old lime tree avenue runs from Osłonino about 1.3 kilometres towards Rzucewo. Its trees stand in two rows and, in some sections, even four. Its approximate length and varying number of rows give the avenue a different character from the coast: here, a linear succession of trees and their alignment shape the landscape, while there, it is the cliff and narrow beach. These two impressions can be seen as different highlights of a stay in Osłonino, without combining them into a single route.

In the wider Puck destination, the Beka Nature Reserve is a bird sanctuary of European importance. Nearly 200 bird species occur within the reserve and its immediate surroundings, including more than 40 breeding species. Bielawa is also in the wider Puck destination: a protected Baltic-type raised bog with characteristic vegetation. It serves as a refuge for waterbirds and wading birds; there is also an observation tower in the Bielawa Nature Reserve.

Other landscape and cultural themes round out this selection in the wider Puck destination: reconstructed Stone Age objects can be found along the Szlakiem łowców fok trail in Rzucewo. The Dolina Chłapowska is a protected landscape area in Władysławowo. The valley, about half a kilometre long, is deeply incised and more than 40 metres deep in places. Puck thus brings together a bird sanctuary, a raised bog, a trail with reconstructed Stone Age objects and a deeply incised valley as distinct themes.
