Built around the Carpathian foothills and the upper San River basin, Subcarpathian Voivodeship grew into Poland’s southeastern borderland region. Rzeszów, the regional capital, is its main urban centre, while the land rises southward towards the Low Beskids and Bieszczady Mountains. The San and its tributaries cut through valleys of farmland and forest, linking small towns with the higher Carpathian interior. Wooden Roman Catholic churches and Orthodox tserkvas reflect centuries of Polish and Ukrainian cultural contact, and several local tserkvas form part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
