POLAND ~ Suchar IV Lake - Wigry National Park ~

... Beautiful lake view with yellow pine pollen floating on the water... a National Park famous for its numerous lakes... different in shape, size and depth... in total 42 of them... one of the youngest NP in the country... the most popular attractions of the park is the narrow-gauge railway, which was once used for transporting timber, and now provides the opportunity to see the lake from the windows of the wagons... also a great place for cyclists, hikers,canoeing and it has a national park museum... with the most wonderful horse stampsッ... Thanks so much Krystyna!!(✿ ♥‿♥)
