The town of Rowy is located among pine forests, in the immediate
neighbourhood of the Słowiński National Park, on the left bank of river Łupawa,
which flowing through Gardno, finds estuary here to the sea, at the same time
determining entry to the port of Rowy (54°40'N 17°03'E). This makes a unique
microclimate and excellent conditions for rest and tourism. Rowy can boast of
beautiful broad, sandy beaches separated from the resort by a strip of sand
dunes grown over with dwarf pine and a picturesque port filled with colourful
fishing boats. Cliff coast can be admired to the west of the town, and mobile
dunes in the east - in the Słowiński National Park. Permanent inhabitants are
almost 400 persons mainly dealing with fishing and tourism. In Rowy worth seeing
is the neo-Roman church from the 1st half of the 19th century, made of granite
blocks, with a bell-tower, old cemetery - with tombs of Swedes, Norwegians,
Frenchmen, Dutchmen and Spaniards. While walking in the streets of Rowy you can
also pay attention to typical houses (domy szachulcowe) originating from the
19th century. In Rowy angling competition is held, and proponents of nudism
gather here in the summer.
