Wild Poland
The virgin forests of Poland are a reminder of the nature that covered much of Europe. Successions of oaks, ash trees, linden trees, elms and other types of trees, along with ferns, mosses, and mushrooms.
These forests still host such iconic species as the European bison, the gray wolf, the lynx, and the moose.
This gallery shows some of the landscapes and animals from two of the most famous parks in Eastern Poland: Bialowieza National Park and Biebrza National Park.
