The Republic of Poland, with its 38 million inhabitants, joined the European Union in 2004. The land rises from the 528 kilometer-long Baltic coast up to 2,500 metres in the Tatra Mountains. There are more than 10,000 lakes set in this densely wooded country. These forests provide a habitat for rare species such as bison, brown bear, lynx, wolf and elk. Polish culture is very diverse: traditional customs and local cuisine are preserved and maintained, particularly in rural areas.
