Wolin National Park (in Polish, Woliński Park Narodowy) is situated on the island of Wolin, in the far north-west of Poland, in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, near te German border. It was established on March 3, 1960 and covers an area of 109.37 km² (42.23 sq mi). The dominant landscape is the chain of moraine hills that border the sea and cover 75% of the park area, reaching a height of 115.9 m (380.2 ft), and the Turkusowe Lake. The cliffs reach a height of 95 m (312 ft). The abrasion of the cliff coast moves the coastline about 80 cm each year. The Park contains a varied flora and fauna and an European bison sanctuary.
