Poland – Tatra Mountains
The Tatra Mountains (part of the Carpathian Mountains) is a mountain range that’s located between Slovakia and Poland.
The highest Polish peak (2499 m above sea level) belongs to Tatra
(on Slovakian side it has a bit higher peak – 2503 m).

Poland – Jellyfish
You may meet jellyfish in the Baltic sea.
Mostly, they are completely not harmful to people.
But there is also a kind of sea jellies in the Baltic Sea that you should avoid, however it’s very unlikely to see it.
When I was a child, everyone was saying, thet “our” jellyfish are not harmful; it’s almost always the case; but it doesn’t mean 100%.
Poland – Seals
There are three kinds of seals living in Baltic sea:
-the harbor seal (or common seal),
-the grey seal,
-the ringed seal.
Actually, the most common is the grey seal, seen in today’s picture.
If you’d like to learn more about seals, visit the seal sanctuary in Hel, Poland.
Poland – Sand Dunes
Poland – Sand and Roses
I think, we were going relatively often to the coast, when I was a child.
Somehow, I always have this image in the front of my head – sand and pink roses.
I’m sure, you can still see in Poland, many bushes with roses close to beaches.

Poland – Wieliczka Salt Mine
The Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
It’s a mine, so you can visit typical “things” you would expect to find in a mine.
On the other hand, it’s like a museum, with many exhibitions made of salt, there is even a chapel.
It’s located nearby Cracow, so definitely visit the mine while being in Cracow.
For details, check the official website of the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
