Did you know, that...

You can find Poland’s most famous nature monument – Bartek oak on the area of Wyzyna Malopolska (Malopolska upland) near Samsonowo.

The oak is around 700 years old and as the legend says the king Jan III Sobieski rested underneath on his way back from the victorious battle near Vienna. In the vicinity of the oak runs an alley planted with 48 over 100 years old trees. Among them: maples, lime-trees, ashes and 2 Polish larches.
