I love Poland! From the cold Baltic sea with its big waves to the high hills of the Tatra mountains, but there is something special about Lubleskie. It is a place of cultural crossroads between East and West and combining the traditions of Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Judaism, as well as much more oriental influences such as Greek, Armenian and Tartar.
Lubelskie is only 2.5 hours away from Warsaw. There is great history and two unique national parks (Roztoczanski National Park and Poleski National Park) and 17 landscape parks which makes the region of Lubelskie perfect for a few days excursions. The nearby major cites are Lublin and Zamosc which is on the UNESCO Heritage list. Lubelskie is a great place to really feel what relaxing life means. The region of Lubartow has many bicycle paths and, thanks to the rich culture, its perfect place to get to know nature and history. These cultural and natural advantages makes this place very attractive for nature and history lovers and for folk seekers.
Lublin Airport
From few weeks Lubelskie is easily accessible by plane, as new airport in Lublin have been open. You can get to Lublin directly from London, Dublin and Oslo, but in the near future more low cost airlines will be operating.
Eastern Poland is also an Eastern boarder of European Union , this region gives you a safety and high quality travel services (network of agrohouses, excellent food) but in the same time it will surprise you with its nature and traditions. Nature is the biggest value of Lubelskie, for example some parts of Poleski National park belongs to Transboundery Biosphere Reserve West Polesie, while other parts belongs to Natura 2000 network. Polesie it’s a perfect place for nature observation and bird watching
