From the forest to the sea
If you’re looking to encounter the natural surrounds of Poland, a must-see is the ancient Białowieża Forest. Join a small-group walking tour to explore the last remains of Europe’s primeval forest, and look out for native wildlife including the rare European Bison. Outside of the inner-forest, you can admire the surrounds on a bike tour, or even on a horse-drawn carriage.
The serene Masurian Lakeland is a district of over 2,000 lakes connected by rivers and canals, which can be explored by many methods, from sailing and kayaking, to bike and walking trails. These canal systems lead to the Baltic Sea, where you will come across the Slowinski National Park on the coastline, famous for its shifting sand dunes.
