Poland heritage and nature tourism expands

Overview

The tourism programme continued to expand through August 2026, with a growing emphasis on seasonal landscapes and revitalized infrastructure. In the Karkonosze Mountains, Karkonosze National Park renovated a green trail near Śnieżne Stawki, utilizing stabilized stone surfaces and wooden walkways to provide an alternative to the crowded Śnieżka peak and improve access to the Śnieżne Kotły glacial cirques.

Autumn travel highlights include the Colorful Lakes in the Rudawy Janowickie mountains, known for mineral-rich waters in various hues, and the UNESCO-listed Muskau Park. For historical interest, Czocha Castle overlooking the Leśniański reservoir has been noted for its atmospheric autumn mists.

Regional attractions remain diverse. The German underwater gondola at Zinnowitz continues to draw visitors near Świnoujście, while spa towns around Lake Necko, Lake Goczałkowickie, and the Solina dam—the country’s largest concrete dam—are actively marketed. The Solina area offers guided interior tours and walking routes such as ‘Perła Polańczyka’ and ‘Zielone Wzgórza’. Poland’s island tourism also features Wolin Island, Sobieszewska Island near Gdańsk, and the historic Ostrów Lednicki.

In the Sudetes, Ziemia Kłodzka remains a focal point for hikers and dog-friendly outings. Recent itineraries for groups, such as the University of Luboń’s Third Age program, have highlighted Polanica Zdrój, the historic Barbara Glassworks, and the Kłodzko Fortress. The region also promotes trekking to Szczeliniec Wielki and the small observation tower in Łężyce.
