In the far south of Poland, nestled among the Tatra Mountains is the town of Zakopane. With steep roofs, picture window views of the mountains, skiing/snowboarding in the winter and hiking/climbing in the summer, Zakopane is an outdoors paradise.

The Podlaskie region in Northeastern Poland is one of the cleanest in all of Europe. It's a great place for camping, kayaking, swimming and cycling among the area's rolling hills and many lakes

Don't forget to ask the guards at Wawel Castle in Krakow about the fire-breathing Dragon that still guards the entrance to the underground caves!
