Beaches, cliffs and Kashubian folklore. Thousands of lakes hidden deep within forests, watched over by the towers of Teutonic fortresses. The domes of eastern churches scattered throughout the mountainsides. Poland is a fascinating jigsaw puzzle, composed of colourful regional pieces.

Blue, white, red – the flag of the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship is made up of these colours. The deep blue of the lakes, the white of sails and storks’ wings. Sometimes, as a contrast, the red bricks of the Teutonic castles.
The tiny Opole region is an exceptional part of Poland – it is here that the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world were discovered. Silesaurus opolensis (the Silesian lizard from Opole) lived 230 million years ago in Krasiejowo.
