Poland
has a temperate climate. During the summer, the average
temperature in July is 76 degrees Fahrenheit. There
are, of course, hot days when the temperature exceeds
86 degrees. The coldest winter months are January and
February. The average January temperature drops to a
few degrees below zero. With huge snowfalls, the Polish
mountains offer good conditions for winter sports enthusiasts
Nature lovers will surely enjoy the golden
sand of the Baltic coast beaches in the north and the
rocky crags of the Tatras in the south. There is a wonderful
network of the Great Mazurian Lakes for water sports
fans and the green wilds of the Bieszczady Mountains
for those who enjoy hiking trips. Meet the free roaming
European bison- Europe's largest animal- in the Bialowieska
Forest, enjoy photo-safari in the unique Biebrzanskie
Marshes, take a raft run down Dunajec River gorge, or
watch the shifting sand dunes of the Slowinski National
Park. |

To the observer
of social and political change in the modern world,
Poland comes upon the stage as the cradle of the 'Solidarity'
movement which shook the entire communist system and
changed the shape of Central Europe in recent years.
It is the homeland of Pope John Paul II and a country
of people open and hospitable to visitors. Poland is
also the homeland of many Nobel prize winners: Henryk
Sienkiewicz, Wladyslaw Reymont, Czeslaw Milosz, Wieslawa
Szymborska (literature), Maria Sklodowska-Curie (chemistry
and physics), and Lech Walesa (peace).
In spite of a turbulent history and the
dramatic changes shaping Polish society today, Poles
have vigorously maintained a distinct sense of culture
and community. Come and meet them on their home ground
and visit the land that continues to motivate and inspire
them |
