A very interesting path, although difficult and long (eco-phyto-sociological, 10 km, 5 hours) assigned for people fond of nature or specialistic students groups. The initial path stoppage is situated near the village of Gać at the bridge upon the Łeba river. The marking leads from this point, first, to the longest view foot-bridge on the Łebsko Lake. A considerable part of the path runs across inaccessible forest terrains being under entire or partial protection. During field classes, a problem of eutrophication of the Łebsko Lake may be discussed, a mosaic arrangement of plants in the District may be presented, the differences between an alder swamp and marshy meadow may be pinpointed; one can familiarise with the structure of Pomeranian beech-tree, see the outcrop of podsolic soil, negative outcomes of peat-bog exploitation or thoroughly observe protected plants species. A quiet, forgotten cemetery of the former residents and monumental trees upon the ruins remains of the fishing village contrast with the noise of nearby peat-mine. 
Considering the distance, the route of the path may be divided into two, more or less equal parts - a northern one with 7 stoppages and the southern one with 3 stoppages, treating each of them separately.
Sightseeing in organised groups is only possible with the Park employee, after prior time reservation in the head office of the SNP. Individuals may notify the intention of entering the path directly to the forester of the Protection District performing the service in the village of Gać.
