Primeval forests attract hunters and mushroomers, numerous lakes - water sports lovers and fishers. Country is intersected by many rivers, longest of which is Vistula (1000 kms). The diverse landscape from the south is fenced with two mountain ridges: Sudety and Carpathians. Due to the location of the country, it is convenient to arrive here by any kind of transport. Poland is famous for its warmth of feeling, Slavonic hospitality and delightful kitchen, in which the meat and vegetable dishes prevail.
