Pristine Poland
From the Land of 100 Lakes to Rübezahl's Realm (Hiking Tour)Pristine Poland
This hiking trip promises not only scenic beauty, but also emotional moments. Experience the magic of the pristine regions in western Poland, from the silence of the lakes to the wild beauty of the mountains, from the tranquillity of nature to the liveliness of the legends of Rübezahl (PL: Liczyrzepa), a legendary mountain spirit in Polish and German folklore, known for his association with the Karkonosze Mountains.
You start on the quiet shores of the land of 100 lakes, where the gentle breeze caresses clear waters and nature shines in its pure beauty. A world where time seems to stand still, and every scene looks like a painting from days gone by. Your journey takes you further into the realm of Rübezahl, where the mountains tower into the sky and the air is filled with secrets and legends. Here, between the majestic peaks and the deep gorges, you can feel the power of nature in all its originality. It is a world full of mysticism and magic, where the stories of the past come to life and captivate you deeper with every step.
This trip includes two easy, five medium and one challenging hike of six to 16 kilometers in length. You will hike on paths and paved trails. For the overnight stays we have selected modern, traditional and stylish ***/**** accommodations with a lot of atmosphere.
