Charming nature

Poland is regarded as one of the best historic places in the world and is home to depressing wartime sites. But there is still more to learn about this Slavic country. The nation is covered with gorgeous villages and untamed landscapes, providing a quiet getaway right in the middle of Europe. There is a whole universe of natural beauty to be discovered in Poland, from snow-capped mountains to herds of wild horses.

Biaowiea Forest, a verdant oasis that spans the border between Poland and Belarus, is one of the last remaining examples of undeveloped woodland in Europe. Golden sunlight streams through the thick canopy of foliage, revealing the bubbling brooks and mossy undergrowth below. European bison herds wander across the uninhabited landscapes as wolves and lynxes emerge from the shadows. Adventurers can travel the local public trails while riding a bike or walking through the forest. Visit Biaowiea National Park in the middle of the forest if you love the outdoors to explore the enchanted wilderness of this UNESCO World Heritage Site and get up close to the local bison herd.
