Why do we love danger? Extreme sport activities represent the most striking example of acts that go against our natural human instincts, which are designed to protect us from dangers! Memories of your first bungee jump or paintball encounter or an impressive rock you climbed, all these moments remain forever. It is easy to get addicted to the adrenaline rush in Poland. Why? Because Poland is an adventure!<\/strong> I’m not kidding:) I’ve done quite a lot of these in my life…and I’m glad I did it before I had kids, because now I’m definitely more cautious!<\/p>\n

The seasonal changes in Poland create favorable conditions for adventure seekers. In winter they can dive under sheets of ice on Lake<\/strong> Galadus<\/strong> (Lake Galadus freezes in sheets of ice during the winter, but those with serious bravery can take turns diving under these sheets of ice for an invigorating and truly shocking experience), catch the wind in their ice yachting sails on Lake \u015aniardwy<\/strong> or swim in the icy slush of the Krutynia River<\/strong>.
\nThe thaw in spring is the ideal time for undergoing survival camp (ob\u00f3z przetrwania<\/strong>): in the marshlands of Kaszuby<\/strong> or Podlasie<\/strong> or in the Augustowski Forest<\/strong>. Mud contributes greatly to any car rally or extreme motor sport. The Bieszczady<\/strong>, Podlasie<\/strong> and Mazury<\/strong> regions attract fans of quad cars; Gorce<\/strong> and Jura Krakowsko-Czestochowska<\/strong> are for cross motorcyclists.<\/p>\n

When it gets warmer, the slopes of the \u017bar Mountain<\/strong> or the Szybowcowa Mountain<\/strong> near Jelenia G\u00f3ra<\/strong> are filled with fans of paragliding<\/strong>. It is also popular in Mazury<\/strong> (in the high season) and on the Baltic seacoast. To paraglide solo you have to undergo training, and pass the test of course.<\/p>\n

No training is needed for pair parachuting (spadochroniarstwo)<\/strong>\u00a0with an instructor or to go ballooning (lot balonem)<\/strong> with a crew. There is an International Ballooning Festival<\/strong> which takes place in Che\u0142mno<\/strong> where the sky fills with balloons of all shapes and sizes, a truly marvelous sight.<\/p>\n

This is my brother Krzysio parachuting in Poland!<\/p><\/div>\n

Jura Krakowsko-Czestochowska<\/strong> is the place for the rock-climbing<\/strong> and is very popular with Polish climbers. No one has been allowed to climb the symbolic and emblematic, Hercules\u2019 Club<\/strong>, since the \u201830s, and it is still forbidden to do so<\/strong>. You will find many climbers on the Zbor\u00f3w<\/strong> and Ko\u0142oczek Mountains<\/strong> near Podlesice and the rocks by Rzedkowice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to leave the town to taste adventure, however. In districts of apartment blocks the spectacular parcour, the art of conquering urban obstacles: rubbish heaps, frames for beating carpets, benches and roofs, is gaining popularity. The informal group, Warsaw\u2019s Extreme Tourism<\/strong>, in the capital city, organises expeditions through abandoned forts, climbing chimneys and walks on bridge spans.<\/p>\n
