Tourism in Poland

                The north of Poland, stretching to the Baltic sea, consists almost entirely of lowlands, while the Carpathian Mountains including the Tatra range form the southern border. The Masuria region forms the largest and most-visited lake district in Poland. The Polish state is over 1,000 years old. Poland was one of the most powerful countries in Europe. Poland is rich in natural mineral resources, including iron, zinc, copper and rock salt. The Wieliczka salt mine, constructed in the 13th century, contains an entire town below ground with a sanatorium, theatre, church and cafe. Everything from stairs to chandeilers is made from salt.

                      Poland's traditional dishes include beetroot soup, cabbage rolls cabbage leaves stuffed with meat and rice, and pierogi dumplings stuffed with cabbage and mushrooms. Packing for this golf trip to Poland was a bit of a lottery, a traditional golf holiday venues would have been a lot easier. Shorts, shades and sun cream for the Algarve, wind jackets and base layers for Scotland. Morning was still breaking but blue skies, sunshine and not a breath of wind lifted the already high spirits as I took the short stroll from the lodge to the clubhouse for a spot of breakfast with course manager Stewart Snedden.

                     The course was carved into gently rolling terrain, nestled between an oak, pine and birch forest and the untouched, spring-fed Radun Lake. The course winds along the lake's edge and stretches around ponds, streams and fields of wildflowers. There is lots of wild life to view, from wild boar to the odd snake that might slither out from time to time. The mid-round food and beverage pit-stop, but the back nine, especially the award winning 15th seemed even more enjoyable as we slowly made our way around the rolling hills of pleasant Pomerania.

                       The opening nine holes guide you up and around the hills of Szzscin Landscape Park, offering spectacular views throughout. The recently added, elevated tee-box on the par three fourth takes the panoramas up a notch, boasting breathtaking views of the fantastic countryside and nearby lakes also.
