FAQs: Hiking in Poland

What should I know about Hiking Poland?

Poland is a country in northern Europe. It is bordered by Germany to the west, Czechia and Slovakia to the south, and Ukraine and Belarus to the east. It also shares a border with Lithuania and Russia. It is well-known for its cultural wealth, which can be seen in its architecture and literature. Poland is proud of its vast and varied countryside, which includes vital rivers like the Oder. The lush forests and wheat fields are symbolic of its vibrant life. The Stolowe Mountains accompany the Tatras and Krakow-Czestochowa Uplands as some of the southern portion’s most compelling natural features. Morskie Oko, a lake hidden in the depths of the Tatras, is a charming reward for hikers who are ambitious enough to find it.

Why should I choose Poland for my Hiking adventure?

Fun for Everyone!

Treks in Poland are designed for every skill level of trekker. There are options for determined hikers that can last over a week, or you can spend a day or two meandering through the pristine countryside. The options are endless and accommodating!

With over 270 kilometers of hiking trails, it would be difficult not to enjoy this slice of wilderness paradise.

The hike was much more difficult than I was prepared for but it was worth every view! Marcel is a very experienced guide and very patient, and has a lot of knowledge about the Tatras mountains and surrounding regions. I would recommend Marcel to anyone who is looking for a guided trek or tour in the Tatras / Carpathian ranges, either in Poland or Slovakia :) P.S. Hiking poles are good to have while descending from Rysy peak. Thank you very much!
