Kolorowe Jeziorka.

The most famous colorful lakes in various greenish-blue shades can be found near the Rudawy Janowickie in Poland. These beautiful lakelets were created as a result of human activity. After the mines were closed, abandoned excavations survived, which were gradually taken over by nature.

The holes were filled with water, and beautiful lakelets were created. Hidden in the wild natural landscape, the colorful lakelets change their color depends on the weather. The trail is easy, and you can see people of various ages walking down the path. Make sure to avoid any contact with the water as it might be dangerous.

For the best views, visit lakelets in late spring or early summer when the sun is shining, and this charming place doesn’t get too overcrowded.

Skull Chapel Czermna.

Did you know that Poland has a chapel made out of thousands of skeletons? I won’t blame you if you are surprised. This Massive grave is a unique work of religious culture, and it is famous throughout the country. Within the chapel, you’ll be able to watch the entire interior lined with human remains – real skulls and bones. Additionally, you will find 21,000 skeletons stored in the crypt under the chapel.

Local Priest Vaclav Tomasek gathered thousands of skulls and bones from numerous mass graves left by the Thirty Year’s war from (1618 – 1648) and from a cholera outbreak (1740 – 1763.)

If you want to experience something unusual, then you should definitely come here.

Pyramid Rapa.

You don’t have to go to Egypt to see a pyramid. Impressed yet? Maybe you won’t see the Tutankhamen’s tomb here, though you should catch sight of a unique crypt of the Prussian family of barons von Fahrenheid. This bizarre tourist attraction can be seen in Masuria’s northern part in the town of Rapa near the border with Russia.

I’m sure you are curious about Fahrenheit’s extraordinary crypt and asking yourself why baron decided to build a family tomb in the form of a pyramid? The answer is quite simple: the shape of the tomb is related to Baron Fredrich’s fascination with ancient Egypt. He believed that pyramids had extraordinary properties affecting the dead bodies. There are legends circulating in our country about this pyramid.

The most thrilling one is that Friedrich von Fahrenheid found his family dead at home upon returning from one of his journeys. It is said that the baron’s wife wanted to reconcile her two cousins before her husband returned. They have accidentally poisoned themselves with mushrooms at a gala dinner.

If you’re wanting to see one of Poland’s best attractions, Pyramid Rapa may just be the kind of thing you’ve been looking for.

Lapalice Castle.

Yep, Poland actually does have a ghost castle. Well, at least one that looks like it. The castle in Łapalice could have been a building of extraordinary beauty. Due to legal “shortcomings” and money, the castle’s construction was suspended 26 years ago and has not been resumed since.

Let’s take a closer look at this building; well over 5,000 square meters, several floors, 52 rooms, 365 windows, a vast ballroom, swimming pool, and 12 turrets referring to the 12 apostles. People say that the founder lost his common sense and his imagination failed him.

Moving freely between the rooms, you won’t believe that the castle in Łapalice was built as a residential house. As in the case of Krzyżtopór Castle in Ujazd, you will notice a fascination with symbolism. Even though the castle has not been finished, it is paradoxically becoming prevalent amongst tourists.

If you’re a castle lover or just keen to visit interesting attractions, the Lapalice castle is an excellent choice to put on your list of things to see in Poland.

Crooked House Sopot.

Krzywy Domek is an unusually shaped building in Sopot, founded by Polish architects Szotyńscy & Zaleski. This unique, full of the magic house was inspired by the fairytale illustrations of Jan Marcin Szancer and the drawings of the Swedish artist Per Dahlberg.

Indeed, it is worth seeing up close the crooked house to admire its artistic beauty. Once you’re done taking your dream shot of the house, head to one of the cafes inside for a cup of coffee.
