Poland
Poland is located in heart of Europe where East meets West. If you are interested in culture and history you will
find here many interesting places. If you like landscape, trekking or other outdoor activities you will be glad too.
Polands territory extends across several geographical regions. The country spreads from the Baltic See in the
north, through the lakes and deep forests to the hills, rocks and the mountains with walking routes, and
adventure hiking areas in the very south. Poland has 21 mountains over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) in elevation, all in
the High Tatras. With almost ten thousand closed bodies of water covering more than one hectare (2.47 acres)
each, the country has one of the highest numbers of lakes in the world.

This country is quite recent member of EU (since 2004), has a long tradition in education (one of the first
European universities was created in Poland). Comparing to the other EU members the living expenses
and educational costs in Poland are still low.
 4. The weather
The climate has four seasons; green spring, gold and sunny summer, red and yellow autumn, and snowy, white
winter. The climate is morew oceanic in the north and west and becomes gradually warmer and continental as one
moves south and east. Summers are generally warm, with average temperatures between 20 C (68 F) and 27 C
(81 F). Winters are cold, with average temperatures around 3 C (37 F) in the northwest and 8 C (17.6 F) in
the northeast.

A Polish visa will be issued upon the presentation of the health insurance certificate and the originals of
