The Carpathian Mountains have a well established network of hiking trails. Abundant lakes provide an opportunity for canoeing and national parks retain areas of Europe's last primeval forest inhabited by bison, bears and eagles. There are numerous tourist attractions. For example, the old market square in Warsaw was restored to recreate 17th or 18th century Poland. The Wilanow Palace, summer home of Poland's kings, is surrounded by lovely gardens. The old market square in Krakow with its traditional cobblestone streets are remarkably well preserved. The 900 year old Wieliczka Salt Mines includes 90 miles of tunnels with an underground church carved completely in salt. The Wawel Castle and the Wawel Cathedral, two of the most important historical treasures in Poland, where practically all Polish kings were crowned and buried since the 14th century. Gdansk, the birthplace of Solidarity, is reminiscent of Amsterdam. It's hard to find a more charming place with its narrow buildings with peaked roofs and decorative facades along cobblestone streets.
