For those people who enjoy getting out on the water on a sail boat, Poland provides many opportunities to do so. Sailing enthusiasts come to The Great Masurian Lakes in their droves every summer where it is possible to enjoy two weeks on the water without visiting the same lake twice. Known as the Polish Lake District, this impressive network of interconnected lakes offers sailors excellent facilities including a great choice of sailboats for hire with the most popular places to do so being Giżycko and Mikołajki. An alternative location for sailors is the Baltic sea. The 870 square kilometre bay at Szczecin is the most popular place to sail and is shared by Germany and Poland. Gdańsk bay is a good alternative and has many picturesque fishing towns and sea harbours.

Cycling in Poland has become a very popular pastime over the past few years boosted by a significant investment in biking infrastructure, such as new cycling lanes in the cities and purpose built trails in the countryside. Today, almost every region in Poland provides good amenities and facilities to cyclists such as well signposted routes and easy to use automated bike rental stations. There are large swathes of flat land in Poland; which makes cycling easy; however if you enjoy the challenge of hills, there are many places where you can enjoy great scenery and give yourself a good work-out at the same time. There are currently in excess of 1,200 cycle routes around Poland with many options for outdoor enthusiasts including over 600 mountain biking trails.

The two most popular winter outdoor activities in Poland are skiing and snowboarding and the country is the ideal location for those who have not skied before or are still in the learning phase. Poland is not the Alps however and experienced skiers and snowboarders will probably not find the excitement they are looking for, black runs in Poland are akin to a tricky red run in the Alps. Despite not having huge vertical drops and above treeline bowls, Poland still attracts many winter sports enthusiasts, mainly due to the fact that it is so much cheaper to ski there and costs are much less than in the well-known resorts such as Courchevel, Zermatt and St. Moritz. Typically, accommodation in a Polish resort can range from as little as 40zł for a hostel to 300zł + for a decent hotel.
