Pojezierza Poludniowobaltyckie
Did you know that...
Chequers (Sorbus torminalis), also called Wild Services Tree is the rarest tree of Drawa National Park.
The leaves of chequers may remind leaves of a "strange" maple. Meanwhile, chequers, being one of the rarest trees in Poland, belongs to the family Rosaceae, which means that it is a close relative of rowan.
