The refuge is situated near the town of Leba and is best accessible from this direction. To Leba we can get both by car and by train. From Leba it is best to walk eastwards along the beach. Special shoes will not be needed - we can walk barefoot. One can also take a bike - but than you have to choose a belt of wet sand, just by the water, cycling on dry is impossible.
