Unusual places

Places with something unexpected.

Małopolska / Silesia

An open stretch of sand surrounded by woodland. Its story combines natural deposits with human activity.

Warmia–Masuria

Here, boats make part of their journey over land. Inclined planes carry them between sections of canal at different elevations.

West Pomerania

Pine trunks curve close to the ground before turning upwards. This small grove stands out sharply from the surrounding woodland.

Lower Silesia

Small pools in former mine workings. Their colours hint at the mining history beneath this quiet woodland.

Małopolska

Flowers cover house walls and everyday objects. This living decorative tradition rewards an unhurried visit.

Lubusz

A wooded landscape with a geological and industrial past. Former workings and distinctive landforms make an unusual walking destination.

Łódź region

Springs with blue-green shades of water. This small reserve shows that surprising natural places can be found within a town.
