Visit Tatra Mountains

Regions important for any nature lover

In recent times, there has been rapid development of tourism in Poland. More and more people are convinced to leave in their home country, instead of choosing entertainment abroad. No wonder - in Poland, we have to choose a lot of really attractive natural sites. Definitely worth to go although a few of them to see with their own eyes that nature in Poland is truly unique. This is evidenced not only a large number of national parks in Poland, but also a lot of nature reserves and parks in our country. What's more, many regions have been appreciated even by the global company and included in the list of UNESCO biosphere reserves. It is a huge honor. So let's spend a holiday in Poland.


Relaxation in Tatras - a great way to contact with nature

Holiday in the Tatras is one of the ways to spend your time in a pleasant atmosphere in beautiful surroundings. Take to the area especially outside the peak tourist season, when the trails are much less crowded and we can enjoy the direct contact with nature. Contact with nature in places such as the higher parts of the mountains is the perfect way to relax, especially for those who enjoy physical activity. Choosing to go hiking in the mountains is in fact a matter of a few or even several hours' walk. It is worth remembering when planning a route. Surely you must adjust the difficulty level route to the own skills and physical condition.


Forests of Poland

Polish forests cover about 30% of Poland's territory, and are mostly owned by the state. Western and northern parts of Poland as well as the Carpathian Mountains in the extreme south, are much more forested than eastern and central provinces.1 The most forested administrative districts of the country are: Lubusz Voivodeship (48,9%), Subcarpathian Voivodeship (37,2%), and Pomeranian Voivodeship (36,1%).1 The least forested are: Łódź Voivodeship (21%), Masovian Voivodeship (22,6%), and Lublin Voivodeship (22,8%).

Forest in Poland occupy the poorest soil. Coniferous type accounts for 54.5%, whereas broadleaved type accounts for 45.5% (out of that, alder and riparian forests account for 3.8%). A number of forested zones are now protected by the Polish government and, in many cases, they have become tourist destinations. Over the years, many of the largest Polish forests have been reduced in size, and that reflected on the structure of forest inhabitation.

Up until the end of the 18th Century, beginning in what is known as the Middle Ages, forests were considered places for travelers and ordinary folk to stay away from, as they were home to bandits and were believed to be inhabited by evil spirits. Law and order did not apply to forests for many centuries, except for self-policing observed and administered by their inhabitants. However, the forests did contain numerous woodsmen and their families who made the best of their remote environment. These woodsmen lived on what the forest could produce, collecting pitch resin for sale ? important as method of illuminating city streets ? logging construction lumber, collecting lime, bees wax, honey, hops, mushrooms and whatever other saleable items could be harvested in the forest and sold in villages outside of it.
