By Milan Matchev

Located in north central Europe is Poland, which shares borders to the east with the Russian Federation, Belarus, Ukraine and Lithuania, to the south with the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic and to the west with Germany. To the north lies the Baltic Sea. Except the Carpathian Mountains in the south and the Oder and Neisse rivers in the west, Poland is a plain with no natural boundaries. The Baltic coast provides great sandy beaches, bays, steep cliffs and dunes. The Northern Poland is dominated by lakes, islands and wooded hills joined by many rivers and canals. . Other major rivers are the Vistula, Warta, and Bug, which are important to commerce.

Poland has become one of the major destinations for travelers because of its beauty that can be admired in both its old cities and in the wild scenery of its national parks and nature reserves. It is also a nation with a proud cultural heritage, and theater, music and opera companies. Rich in natural mineral resources such as iron, zinc, copper and rock salt, Poland has the Wieliczka salt mine. This mine is constructed in the 13th century, which contains an entire town below ground with a sanatorium, theatre, church and café. And everything from stairs to chandeliers is made from salt. Among the Poland's traditional dishes are beetroot soup, cabbage rolls and pierogi. Pierogi are dumplings stuffed with cabbage and mushrooms.



Skiing is very popular in Poland especially in the Tatra Mountains. Indeed, the Bieszczady Mountains in the southeast are highly rated for cross-country skiing. Ice boating is also great in Poland's frozen waterways. Poland's rivers are particularly good for bull trout. You may head to the Brodnica or Mysliborz lakelands, or the rivers Brda, Czarna Hancza and Obra if you are canoeists. If you are in the Beskid, Bieszczady and Sudety mountains, both hang gliding and paragliding are popular. Furthermore, Poland's national parks and nature reserves offer a variety of hiking trails through different types of landscapes ranging from dunes, beaches, rivers and lakes to deep forests and high mountains.
