Hiking
Hiking is the most popular of outdoor activities, and not without
reason. The most popular hiking routes are those in the Tatra
Mountains but the Pieniny, the Bieszczady or the Karkonosze are all
options.
Poland has about a thousand caves, mostly in
the uplands near Kraków and in the Tatra Mountains. For those
unwilling to plunge into uncharted blackness, a handful of caves are
adapted for the spatially-sane. The most spectacular of these are the
Bear's Cave near Klodzko and the Paradise Cave near Kielce. Marked
hiking trails are abundant and marked on most maps. The hiking is
fantastic as Poland is full of forests and changing wildlife throughout
the year (e.g. storks in the summer on the Baltic coast and deer
throughout the year).
