"Bledów Desert (Polish: Pustynia Bledowska) is an area of sands between Bledów (part of Dabrowa Górnicza in Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union) and the village of Chechlo and Klucze in Poland. The area lies mainly on the Silesian Highlands in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. It occupies an area of 32 km2 (12 sq mi).

The Bledowska Sands are the largest (in Central Europe) accumulation of loose sand away from any sea, deposited thousands of years ago by a melting glacier.

During the Second World War, the area was used by the German Afrika Korps for training and testing equipment before deployment in Africa."
