    On May 24 we celebrate the European Day of Parks – learn more about 23 Polish National Parks

    According to the Nature Conservation Act of 2004, the national park in Poland defines the area of outstanding environmental, scientific, social, cultural, and educational value bigger than 1000 ha. It prevents biodiversity, resources, and landscape values. There are 23 National Parks in our country where nature is the most important and plants, animals and even fungi do not have to worry about their safety.

    From the touristic perspective, the national parks are also one of the most interesting points on the map of Poland. They include a well-developed infrastructure available for tourists. They can follow special trails, take part in the lectures in educational centres and visit natural history museums.
