Wonders
of Polish Nature
Many sites of nature in Poland are unique, not only across Europe
but the globe as well. Here, nature and culture live in harmony.
P
oland is a verdant country. Even its towns
and cities are full of greenery! There are
wonderful nature sites and areas in every
corner of the country. The monadnocks in
the Owl Mountains (Góry Sowie) were formed
during the formation of our planet. Białowieża
Forest is Europe’s last virgin forest, where you
can encounter the European bison now rescued
from extinction. Poland has picturesque rivers
and plenty of lakes. Masuria, known as the land
of lakes, came 14th in the New 7 Wonders com-
petition. The Wieliczka Salt Mine’s deposits are
a natural phenomenon, and the mine itself is
a world cultural monument on UNESCO’s World
Heritage list. The rock salt deposits here have
been mined continuously since the Middle
Ages. ▶

Wild Nature
▶ Inland waters are full of fish, while numerous species of birds nest in the
meadows and forests. White storks arrive here in such numbers that they
have become the symbol of Polish nature, just like the willows shrouded in
legends that inspire many artists. It is worth exploring the world of Polish
nature actively – by doing sports either recreationally or competitively, on
land, water or in the air, all year round. In our temperate European climate,
in addition to the typical spring, summer, autumn and winter there are two
extra seasons: early spring and early winter. Each of the six seasons paints
nature with its own special charm.

Poles love horses. We are especially proud
of the stud farm in Janów Podlaski. Here,
the prices of Arabian horses reach staggering
heights during the world-famous Pride of Poland
auction.
