This is a unique map on our publishing market. In addition to its classic cartographic content, it also presents a unique landscape image of Poland. We have combined two complementary views on one map. Our artists have painted Poland “from an eagle’s eye view” to illustrate the beauty of our homeland and its assets. Wanting to show the Polish mountains in a clear perspective, we have reversed the observer’s position to the north. We have marked the panorama with the most important cities, monuments, rivers, and forests. This is how this unique and practical landscape publication was created.

"Poland is a land of ancient primeval forests and thousands of lakes spread on hills and plains between the Baltic Sea and the high Tatra Mountains. History has endowed our country with a unique place on Earth, thanks to which beautiful Polish landscapes four times a year undergo extraordinary metamorphoses delighting with the dynamics of nature, its unusual colors and moods." The map “Nature of Poland” is a publcation unique and beautiful, full of images and symbols of the natural heritage of our country. It is a map - sanctuaries of Polish nature, which should, like the works of Mickiewicz, go under thatched roofs to give and strengthen in us a sense of connection with nature and responsibility for it. Maintained in the convention of old cartographic works, it tells about the treasures of nature that have survived to our time. It presents in decorative cartouches business cards of Polish national parks, gives the most important natural and geographical information about Poland, describes the forms of environmental protection used in our country, beautifully promotes Polish nature. Wishing to popularize the natural beauty of our country, we have published two twin maps, “Nature of Poland” and “Forests of Poland”, which in a complementary way present the overall resource of Polish nature. National parks are the mothers of Polish flora and fauna, but they are not a separate and independent natural creation, they are part of our natural environment, which includes many components such as forests, landscape parks, areas of protected landscape, agricultural land and, of course, water. National parks account for only 1% of our country's land area. The remaining 29% is made up of forest areas owned by the State Forestry Service.
