Frozen lakes and snow-covered forests create beautiful landscapes. Less pleasant if you don't like the cold.
HanneAn icy coldness took hold of me. Despite the icy landscape, the snow made everything beautiful. Ideal for winter lovers, less so for heat lovers.
SaraNice and warm, but not too hot, ideal for hiking and relaxing. There were a few days of rain, but overall the weather was good.
Lianne MiddelkoopUnpredictable snowstorms made the vacations even more difficult.
DaanThere was heavy snowfall, which made travel difficult at times. But fair is fair: the snowy landscape made the weather picturesque.
CelineSummer in Poland was pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 20-30 degrees and lots of sunshine. However, occasional showers but that did not spoil the fun. An umbrella is recommended.
