Not so far from our office in Katowice, there is a great region perfect for rock climbers – the Polish Jura. Moreover, about 30% of Poland’s territory is covered by forests, where You can practice survival, hunting or birdwatching, and you can clearly see that Poland has a lot of options for active tourists.

Cycling: The Baltic Sea Cycle Route – a part from EuroVelo nr 10 bike route or Trail of the Eagles’ Nest – name of this route comes from the castles that lie along it on big, tall rocks.

Windsurfing, wakeboarding: the best place to windsurf is Hel peninsula, but Miedzyzdroje or Dziwnow (on the western part of Baltic seaside) is not any worse than Hel. If You don’t like the open sea, you can also try windsurfing on one of numerous Masurian lake.

Sailing, kayaking:  The Masurian Lakeland with more than 200 lakes is a place famous for sailing not only in Poland, but also across Europe. Mikołajki, Gizycko or Augustow with its marinas and Kisajno, Niegocin or Sniardwy lake with crystal water awaits for sailors and kayak lovers.

Climbing: when you say „rock climbing” in Poland, the first thought that comes to mind is Jura Krakowsko-Czestochowska. This area is filled with Jurassic limestone rocks, cliffs, valleys. Small villages such as Podlesice, Bobolice or Niegowa can be a great place for stay for climbers.

Birdwatching: marshes of Biebrza river or Białowieza Forest are the most famous „hotspots”  among bird watchers.
