Pałuki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pałuki is a historic and ethnographic region lying in central Poland, part of Greater Poland, among Pomerania nad Cuiavia. In terms of administrative division the region lies in Kujawy-Pomorze Voivodship and Wielkopolska Voivodship. A diverse relief, forests and numerous attractions make lots of tourists visit to Pałuki every year. Lakes are the greatest natural resources of the land. An interesting fact is that Pałuki is commonly called "the land of 130 lakes" or sometimes even "Little Mazury". The famous "Piast Trail", leading through several places connected with the origins of the Polish State (Gniezno, Kruszwica), runs across the south of Pałuki. Żnin, Wągrowiec, Szubin, Janowiec Wielkopolski and Kcynia are major towns of the land, but also Biskupin, Wenecja and Gąsawa are particularly attractive places to visit.
