Hi, you should see my name on the top. I am Polish national from Poznań who would like to contribute a little to these outdated guides about Poland.
I am looking for Polish collaborators, write me a message if you want to support Polish guides as it seems quite empty here.
Despite being Polish I don't contribute on Polish Wikivoyage. It is essentialy dead site with 3-4 contributors, most stuff remembers days of WikiTravel, ton of spam and advertisements and no sensible templates/procedures. My time is better spent here. While radical I believe that Polish Wikivoyage should be deleted entirely and created from scratch.

Kłodzko Land
editSection to help me coordinate work. This is something I want to tackle in next few months (I plan to finish by end of 2024, possibly October/November). Important place for tourism in Poland, ton of locations, mostly forgotten by this page. There is even one demanded page Lądek-Zdrój. I would like to use it as springboard to subdivide Lower Silesian Voivodeship region, which has lots of tourist locations that barely fit in current article.
1. Pages needing expansion
- Kłodzko - it is quite empty in general
2. New pages to be built
3. Subdivide Lower Silesian Voivodeship into subregions. Create page for Kłodzko Land and populate it.

Recommend
edit- Tallinn and whole Estonia in general - cool vibe, not discovered by mass tourism, but why it has to be so cold here, brrr...
- Malbork Castle - simply epic, it's at least as good as the entire city of Gdańsk
- Baarle-Nassau/Baarle-Hertog - quite a fun spot, with lots of nice bars
- hiking in Bieszczady, just take torch with you and plan in advance to return safely, if you stay until evening all the crowds will be back in valleys, leaving beautiful sunset and mountains just for you
- cycle through Hel Peninsula and go to one of the very few empty beaches in Poland
- dunes in Łeba
- canoeing on Drawa, just whatever you do please don't drink alcohol while swimming
Avoid
edit- Ruhrgebiet, I didn't know that river can be ugly before, also "Waffenverbotszone" makes you feel really safe and welcome \s. Just don't.
- Zakopane, awful highlanders who constantly want to scam and harass you. Also very touristey, and completely lacking in good taste. Reportedly it is 7th largest city in Poland in season with over 400 thousand people. Slovakian Tatras are simply better.
- Kaliningrad, it is quite an accomplishment to turn former capital of Prussia into poor, provincial Russian town. Boring. Very Soviet vibe and not in a good way.
- touristey spots in general - expensive, crowds, pickpockets, scams etc. usually not worth it
