Extractions: POLISH LANDSCAPE T he landscape of Poland can be divided broadly into three relief groups: the lowlands, the highlands, and the mountains. There are sharply contrast between the northern two-thirds of the country and the southern one-third. The northern zone's principal topographical characteristic is the North European Plain. The southern one-third of Poland consists of various upland areas and adjacent or intervening lowlands. Along the southern border are the Carpathian and Sudeten mountains. The highest elevation is Rysy (2,499 m) in the High Tatra range of the Carpathians. The eastern extremes of Poland display characteristics common to eastern Europe, but the rest of the country is linked to western Europe by structure, climate, and the character of its vegetation. T he Coastal Plain The Baltic Coastal Plain stretches across northern Poland from Germany to Russia (Kaliningrad region). It is largely occupied by the ancient province of Pomerania. The Pomeranian (Pomorska) Bay in the west and the Gulf of Gdansk in the east are the two major inlets. In the southern portion of the former, two islands block off the Szczecin (Szczecinski) Lagoon, into which the Oder discharges its waters. In the Gulf of Gdansk, the Vistula (Wisla) River forms a large delta. Sandbars, on which the winds have created large dunes, line much of the coast, separating the coastal lakes and lagoons from the sea. The main urban centres are the ports of Szczecin on the lower Oder and Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot in the east.

Farthest to the south lies Oplonek Peak. Farthest to the north is the Rozewie Cape. The major historical cities like Warsaw, Cracow, Sandomierz, Kazimierz, Plock, Torun and Gdansk were built along the Vistula river. Modern architecture coexists with historical quarters that, like the Old towns in Warsaw and Gdansk, Cracow's center, and the market places of Kazimierz and Sandomierz, remember times from eight centuries ago. With recent changes in this part of continent Poland's neighbors are: to the east and north-east - Russia, Lithuania, Belorussia and Ukraine; to the south - Czech and Slovakia, and Germany to the west.
