Welcome to Poland, a country for nature lovers with the golden sand of the Baltic coast beaches in the north and the rocky crags of the Tatras in the south. Recently made famous as the cradle of the 'Solidarity' movement that helped change the shape of Central Europe, Poland has a rich history. Those with a taste for history will enjoy the many painstakingly restored old town centres such as the Royal Castles of Warsaw and Krakow, Poland's former capita. Unspoiled landscapes, magnificent medieval towns set in sparsely populated countryside, villages where life has not changed for centuries, country roads where farm animals and horsedrawn carts are still a common sight - its not surprising that Poland is becoming an attractive destination for hikers and cyclists.
