Solina
Solina occupies a wooded shore of Lake Solina in Poland’s Subcarpathian Voivodeship, amid the Bieszczady Mountains. This vast reservoir was created where the San and Solinka rivers were dammed, turning a former river valley into a long, branching body of water with forested banks. Its centerpiece is Solina Dam, completed in 1968: at 82 metres high, it is Poland’s tallest dam and supports a hydroelectric power station. The lake has made Solina a leading base for boating and waterside stays in the Bieszczady, while the surrounding foothills retain the spacious, lightly settled character of southeastern Poland.

Tucked into the Bieszczady Mountains beside Lake Solina, Solina is a place whose character is shaped by the reservoir created on the San River. Poland’s largest artificial reservoir by volume also receives the Solinka and extends through wooded hills in the country’s far southeast. At its southern end stands the 82-metre Solina Dam, completed in 1968; it remains Poland’s tallest dam and incorporates a hydroelectric power station. Its crest serves as a pedestrian route, while marinas and seasonal boat trips make the water central to local life.

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. Continue through the area to see how this part of southeastern Poland connects regionally.

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.
