Located in the very norh-eastern tip of Poland, bordering with Russia in the north and Lithuania in the east, this is by far Poland at its wildest. This is where Poland's coldest spot is located and it is still one of the least populated areas of the country. And although it is becoming more and more popular with holiday-makers, you can still find plenty of far-off hide-aways that will provide the peace and quiet you are looking for. The region's western boundary is marked with the Rospuda river - very wild and somewhat mountain-like in nature. A canoe trip down this river will offer unforgettable views and excitement to be remembered for months to come. Moving further east across the region you can depart on cycling or hiking trips to explore the primeval forests and lakes until you get to the eastern area of the region. Being so close to the border, you may consider extending one of your outings into the Lithuanian wilderness as well. Yet most of all do enjoy the wildlife of Wigierski National Park. A cycling or hiking trip around the Wigry lake's ca. 60km long shoreline will gradually reveal the lake's little curves and bays. With a bit of luck you will spot beavers, herons or swans in their natural homes. Flowing through the lake is also one of Poland's most known canoeing routes - the Hancza river that joins the Augustowski canal - the 19th century engineering masterpiece. And if you are not into paddling, a trip along the canal can be taken from Augustow on one of the little crusing ships (operating May - September). Moving south in the region, you will get to the Biebrza estuary and Biebrzanski National Park, where a canoe trip or a guided march across the swamps will allow you to admire wildlife (elks, beavers, otters and countless bird species) at its most natural. Combine all that with the local cuisine specialities, eg. Sekacz - the piramidal cake that is an unusual delicacy of Suwalszczyzna and you will get a memorable holiday break.
