et in the heart of Europe, Poland is a hugely varied country with fascinating medieval towns, quiet countryside and the towering peaks of the Tatra Mountains. The views are wonderful whether enjoyed from two feet or two wheels, but there is plenty of time to relax and enjoy the atmosphere as well. Crossing into neighbouring Slovakia, we venture further into the mountains, as well as underneath them at the Demianovska Caves, and an action-packed day at the 'Aqua City' in Poprad is memorable for the whole family. Returning to Poland, we finish the trip in the historic city of Krakow, arguably the finest of its kind in Europe.
