Lake Solina Warmia Polish Tuscany

Lake Solina — Active Holidays and Romance in the Polish Mountains

If you're wondering where to go in Poland this summer, Lake Solina is a perfect destination. It’s one of the most scenic lake holiday spots in Poland, surrounded by lush hills and pine forests. Mornings here begin with a cup of coffee on the terrace of a wooden apartments Myczkowiec — no rush, no screens, just peace and the sound of water.

Just 15 minutes away, you’ll find a sandy beach where you can relax and watch white sailboats passing by. Later, rent a kayak, motorboat, or yacht from Eko Marina Polańczyk and enjoy an afternoon of sailing in Poland. For something more special, plan a picnic on a wild beach that’s only accessible by water.

For lunch, head to the tavern Tawerna pod żaglami, known for its creamy fish soup made from a variety of local river fish. This is a local favorite — once you try it, you’ll want to return.

In the evening, visit the promenade with small restaurants, local shops, and a family amusement park. Don’t miss the cable car ride over Lake Solina. It offers breathtaking views of the lake, mountains, and the impressive dam — one of the most stunning panoramas in this region.

End your trip with a romantic dinner on the rooftop tower of Sanok Castle. The castle is home to an art museum, but with advance booking with My little wedding, you can enjoy a candlelit dinner on top of the historical tower — a truly special experience.

In the VacationPoland app, you’ll find everything you need for your Poland lake holiday: top hotels, boat rentals, local restaurants, and the best viewpoints. And it’s completely free.

Warmia — Japanese Calm with a Special Discount up to 70 euros

When you want more than just a break — when you want to fully recharge — Warmia is the answer. This region in northern Poland is ideal for nature retreats and wellness travel, combining calm lakes, pine forests, and peaceful small towns with Japanese-inspired aesthetics.

Start your day with a walk through cobbled Olsztyn streets and enjoy coffee with views of church towers and red roofs. For dinner, visit a Japanese restaurant, where the menu was created by a chef from Tokyo with two Michelin stars. Every dish is a ritual of taste and presentation.

Stay in a Japanese-style hotel with a Sento SPA. You'll find hot baths with essential oils, shiatsu massages, and a meditation room overlooking the forest.

Next door, there’s a Japanese garden with a red bridge, stone paths, and small waterfalls. You can also rent a kayak or rowboat and explore the nearby lake.

Want even more peace? Visit the forest spa where the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) helps you reconnect with nature and find balance.

In the VacationPoland app, you’ll find the full “Warmiński Zen” route and a special discount code giving you up to 300 zł off accommodation, spa treatments, and a gourmet dinner.

Polish Tuscany — Vineyards, Cheese Farms, and Orchard Picnics

Looking for landscapes that feel like Tuscany but closer to home? The hills near Sandomierz offer exactly that. This region, known as Polish Tuscany, is full of vineyards, orchards, and farm stays — perfect for wine tasting in Poland and slow countryside travel.

We recommend planning your visit between August 15–17, during the Open Vineyard Days. It’s the best time to experience local life — with tastings, workshops, and walks through the fruit gardens.

Sandomierz, the capital of the region, is built on seven hills and filled with medieval streets, cozy cafés, and cool wine cellars. On Saturdays, monks open their historic vineyard to visitors. You’ll learn about winemaking in Poland, walk among the vines, and taste local wines with panoramic views of the valley.

Nearby, you’ll find a cheese farm, where you’ll be shown the production process and offered a tasting board with homemade jam and fresh village bread.

Also in the area is a family-run vineyard with guided tastings, music evenings, and a boutique hotel inside a restored countryside manor. The terrace has beautiful views, and the restaurant serves dishes made from regional ingredients.

Finish your trip with a picnic in an apple orchard: a wooden table under the trees, homemade apple pie, fresh juice, apricot jam — and complete silence, broken only by birdsong.

In the VacationPoland app, you’ll find the full Polish Tuscany route, including vineyard maps, cheese farms, orchards, and charming eco-hotels — all with insider tips you won’t find in regular guidebooks.
