The Secrets of the Mountains and Time

The Secrets of the Mountains and Time The Karkonosze Range is a part of the Sudety Mountains and the enchanted land of Lower Silesia. From the top of Mt Śnieżka (1,602 m), overlooking the Polish side of the Sudety Mountains, enfolds a splendid view of the natural and man-made wonders of this land.
The network of signposted tourist trails (2,500 km) is well developed, still there are many secret places which will delight explorers and seekers of treasures, especially collectors of valuable minerals.
The Bear’s Cave has more than 3 km of labyrinthine corridors and chambers, marble mines as well as many places untrodden by humans.
The Karkonosze Range is 350 million years old. It is difficult to imagine long ago they came to be – it is certainly easier to wander about these mountains, trying to unravel the secrets of time |

Tatras & the Podhale Region

Tatras & the Podhale Region A panoramic view of the granite Tatras can be seen from the Podhale, Orawa and Spisz regions. You can think that the foothills are trying to climb up to the Tatras high peaks. The Podhale region is dotted with small villages. Many have wooden churches and all of them have houses built in the unique highlander’s style, typical of the local taste drawing inspiration from nature.
Everyone’s fascination is Zakopane, a town sitting on the borderline between the high mountain meadows and the rocky Tatra summits. Zakopane attracts mountain trekkers, skiers, artists and people who love good time. It’s only a stone’s throw from Zakopane to the High Tatras. And from the Tatras – as old highlanders say – nothing can be too far away! |

Amber

Amber originates from the resin of pine trees which has become solid over thousands of years. Polished and set in silver, amber adds sparkle to even most glamorous beauty. Considered to be a source of good energy, it is often worn for health reasons. |

Masuria – the Land of a Thousand Lakes
|
Masuria • the Land of a Thousand Lakes
There are too many attractions in Masuria for anyone to be able to enjoy all of them during one holiday: thousands of lakes and water routes, yacht marinas, taverns for sailors, friendly fishing villages and equestrian clubs.
Crystal-pure waters promise a pleasant swimming experience, and the wealth of fish species tempt anglers. Most lakes in this region are small and medium size, hidden deep in the forest, with high banks or waterfronts overgrown with rushes and teeming with various aquatic bird species. Some of them, like Lakes Śniardwy and Mamry, are very large. Others, like Lake Wigry, have fantastic shapes. Still others, like the small Lake Jaczno, enchant visitors with unique colour of their waters (malachite green).
Not far from the Masurian lakes is the Suwałki Region Lakeland with its smaller but equally charming lakes and picturesque water•courses. This region is ideal for those who seek peace and quiet. Here you can still find uninhabited islands, perhaps try your hand at the life experienced by Robinson Crusoe! |
