Maybe this short intro-like article
should have been posted earlier? It gives a bit of idea of what to
do in the Polish part of the Carpathians. Let’s see…
Poland is a lowland country. Mountains,
located in the south, occupy only a few percent of its surface, but
it is a very interesting and diverse area, perfect for an active
tourism. A myth is that the active tourism means only doing sports –
it is also exploration of the natural and cultural values of
the region.

The most popular activity in the
mountains is hiking. In the Polish Carpathians we can find lots of
well-marked paths, friendly shelters and unforgettable views. They
are suitable for the day trips as well as multi-day trekking.
Forested hills in the Beskidy, grassy mountain pasture in the
Bieszczady or steep rocky peaks in the Tatras - at any time of the
year Poland has a lot to offer tourists.

Cycling has developed in the Polish mountains recently, but it has already gained a large group of fans. Cyclists mainly use hiking trails but also some cycling paths are prepared specially for them. Bike makes possible visiting things we won’t reach by car or on foot. Exercise will give us a lot of pleasure and satisfaction.

Other forms of active tourism in the
mountains are also horse riding, kayaking, rock climbing and others.
All these activities are complemented by learning the region - its
natural and cultural heritage.
