One of the biggest attractions of Poland is its wealth of natural beauty: spectacular mountains, vibrant forests, sandy beaches and alluring lakes. The best way to enjoy Poland's natural scenery is via bicycle. Bikes are ideal for reaching places of unspoiled beauty.

The Baltic Coast attracts throngs of windsurfers each year. The Hel Peninsula is considered the windsurfing capital of the country. Its moderate winds draw surfers from all over the world. The lake districts boast thousands of lakes and many choices of staying active. Spend the morning fishing and the afternoon on horseback trotting.

Mountains in winter lure skiers and snowboarders who want to avoid crowds and enjoy reasonable prices. In summer, it is a good choice for hiking or mountain climbing.

No matter what time of year you visit Poland, you are sure to find fun and adventure.
