But if someone wants and this expects it will find many places clean and secluded, because the choice of lakes is very large.
Podlasie
Podlasie is known for its extraordinary purity, and the traditional landscapes of the village. A lot of cows here, the air is fresh. It dominates the lowland landscape with lots of meadows. The lakes are quite a bit, especially in the northern part. Podlasie is dotted with rivers and canals, among which the Pearl is the Augustów canal, providing a water connection with Lithuania and Belarus, and that way into the Baltic Sea, which is connected by the river basin of the Vistula and Neman. Nature is protected among others in Wigierskie National Park, Biebrzańskie National Park, Białowieża National Park and Narviański National Park.
Lublin Voivodeship
It is a land where two major tourist areas can be separated, where the most important are the lakes: Roztocze and Łęczyńsko-Włodawski Lake District. There are also many rivers here. North of Lublin are lowland and lazy, but in the vicinity of Biłgoraja Rivers can be mountain nature because they intersect Roztocze. These are the regions so charming that they were protected by nature in the form of Roztoczański National Park and Poleski National Park.
Greater Poland
The lakes of Wielkopolska are very famous, but rather locally. Everyone knows Lake Gopło, but because of its historical importance for Poland. However, it is worth delving into these areas, because there are many clean and beautiful ribbon lakes, especially in the vicinity of Gniezno. It is worth noting that many lakes are connected by navigable canals, which, combined with large rivers, allows you to relax on the boat.
Kashubia
Kashubia is a beautiful and clean region of Poland. Although it is close to the Baltic Sea, it is worth remembering about the local lakes. Many of them are located in forests without direct proximity to large cities. This region is also famous for its old pine forests.
