Strzyżewice: Lotnisko Leszno (EPLS) na żywo
The landscape around Strzyżewice is flat, open farmland on the Wielkopolska Lowland, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The locality lies beside Leszno Airfield, where paved aprons, hangars and broad grass operating areas interrupt the surrounding agricultural terrain. The countryside west of Leszno has a distinctly lowland character, with scattered farm buildings and local roads crossing cultivated fields. Aviation gives this area a practical purpose without changing its spacious rural scale. Nearby Leszno was an important refuge for the Czech Brethren in the 17th century, and the Czech educator Jan Amos Comenius lived there. Strzyżewice therefore connects the working landscape of Greater Poland with a notable chapter of Central European history.

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.
