Poland – green paradise

Poland, a country many times bigger than the Netherlands or Belguim, but only two or three times as much inhabitants: that must be paradise. And Poland is!
Because by far, the largest part of the Polish outback still breathes the atmoshere of many years ago. Land surrounded by (primeval) forests, meandering rivers and quiet lakes. Therefore, large areas in Poland have been declared National Parc.

The Biebrza basin, largest National Parc and international Wetland

The valley of the murmering Biebrza river in the northeast region of Poland is one of the largest preserved peatland in Europe. Therefore, it is no surprise that this beautiful nature reserve has been declared the largest National Parc and International Wetland in Poland.
The Parc has a total area of about 60,000 ha!
The Biebrza river that originates several kilometres of the Belarus border, flows through this valley for about 80 kilometres and than joins the Narew River. The region resembles the landscape of the Dutch province Drente.
Quiet marshes with forests and meadows full of flowers in between, and scenic villages on higher land, characterized by nostalgic little houses made of wood, and agricultural land, where herbs are cultivated by means of horsedrawn carts... a breathtaking view!
The area is supported by elks, beavers, otters and even some wolfs. Many black storks, water birds and birds of prey can be found in the sky.

Bialowieza, a (primeval) forest with european bisons!

The National Parc Bialowieza is situated in the border area of Poland and Belarus. The forest has a total area of 137,000 ha! The European Bison still lives here in the open air. The region has been a forest since the ice age, which is the reason why the inhabitants of Poland call it the ‘Puszca Forest’. For centuries, Polish kings and queens owned this forest and used it as their hunting area for european bisons. After that period, a preservation order was given, to protect the trees from being cut down.
In 1932, the forest was declared National Parc. In the Belarus area, an enormous part of this forest is less protected than in Poland. The forest reserve in Poland is the largest and least affected woodland in the lowland of the west and middle part of Europe.
