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.
A thousand blue lakes, a desert, verdant forests and rushing hill land rivers. Any adventure in the Pomorskie Voivodship along the Baltic coast usually starts in the Tricity, an unusual urban assembly of three towns: Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot.
You can’t say you know Poland if you haven’t visited the Malopolskie Voivodship. The former capital of our country, Krakow, is situated here. And to the south, the Tatry - the highest mountains with 5 places in Malopolska on the UNESCO World Heritage List!
Salty and sweet at the same time – this is the flavour of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship, located in the northern part of Poland. The salt comes from a gigantic, underground lake, and the sweetness from the Toruń gingerbreads, with recipes which haven’t changed in years.
The third largest Voivodship in Poland lies along the eastern borderlands of the country. Its neighbours are Belarus and the Ukraine, across the Bug River, a wild and twisting river. This is the area where Polish and Russian, Catholic, Orthodox and Jewish influences are all mixed together. It is a land which has seen many changes. A full-blooded borderland.
The capital of Mazowsze, Warsaw, is – next to Helsinki – considered the most verdant of European capitals. There are many parks, gardens, and grassy promenades in the city.
The outlines of foundries on the horizon. Factories and mining towers dominate the landscape of Silesia, one of the smallest Voivodships in Poland.
There is a region in Poland that can be easily called … The Wild East. It still has not been affected and overwhelmed by today’s Great Tourism movement. It is in fact unspoiled, as yet.
The oldest mountains in Europe – the Pepper Mountains, caves full of marvels from the Krasera, dinosaur prints and the fossils of unique shell fish. Musical motifs and historical sites of technology from the Stone Age, Iron Age and industrial revolution. Those are the treasures of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodship.
