Poland’s landscape sweeps down from the mountain ranges in the south through a varied landscape of wooded plains, forests, innumerable lakes, protected marshes and shifting sand dunes. The primeval forest in Białowieża is unique in Europe; while the lakes and mountains attract visitors from all over the world, keen to explore areas that were once privy only to natives and those in neighbouring countries. The marshes and lakes in particular foster a huge variety of exceptional flora and fauna.
