Poland – Final impression

Today, I’m showing you the last picture of my country.
I hope, you like some of them, and maybe you’ll visit Poland one day. 🙂

Poland – Gdansk

Gdańsk is a Polish city located by the Baltic Sea.
Maybe, one of the most interesting Polish cities, because of history, culture, and nearby nature.

I wanted to list here a few famous Polish people.
The first name that came to my mind was Maria Curie-Skłodowska,
the pope, Copernicus and Chopin.
But some people may be known because of current situation (e.g., Robert Lewandowski),
and others may be more or less known depending where you are from or what is your profession.
I’ll just write here a few names,
and please let me know, have you heard about any of them.

Marie Skłodowska Curie
Pope John Paul II
Nicolaus Copernicus
Frederic Chopin
Lech Wałęsa
Roman Polański
Stanisław Lem

Poland – Malbork Castle

Malbork Castle is a large 13th-century Teutonic castle,
one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
It’s a very popular tourist attraction for Polish people as well as for foreigners.

Poland – Wroclaw

Wrocław is one of the largest Polish cities.
It’s an old, historical city with interesting architecture
and museums e.g., Racławice Panorama;
many, many, many bridges and a similar big number of dwarfs.

Poland – Torun

Toruń is a lovely small, old town,
that I always recommend to visit in Poland.
Why? – Because of its diverse architecture, Teutonic Castle, gingerbread, Nicolaus Copernicus, and many more. 🙂
The only drawback – in summer months Toruń may be quite crowded.

Poland – Mushrooms

Many Polish people (including me) love to pick up (edible) mushrooms in forest.
The mushrooms from today’s picture should stay where they are,
there are many other eatable (more than once 😉 ) mushrooms.

Poland – Forest

Poland has lots of forest,
however, these days, forest may not be treated well… 🙁

Poland – Giewont

Giewont is not the highest mountain in Poland, it’s only 1895 m above sea level.
However, it’s very well known in Poland, because it looks like a sleeping knight.

p.s. the legend says he will wake up when Poland is in danger.

Poland – Mountains

To simplify, the central part of Poland is flat,
sea is in the north, mountains are in the south part of Poland.
There are two main mountain ranges: the Sudetes and Carpathian mountains; all beautiful. 🙂
