From the cities full of sightseeing wonders you can take a trip to breathtaking wild primeval forests with unique flora and fauna. In Poland, everybody will find something for themselves. Love windsurfing? Make sure you visit the Hel Peninsula. Are you into climbing? The Swietokrzyskie Mountains are waiting for you. You can also sail amidst the beautiful scenery of the Warmia and Masuria Regions or climb to the tops of the Tatra Mountains – the highest mountain range in Poland.
