The queen of Polish rivers – the Vistula – like a blue ribbon stretches from the mountains all the way to the sea. Until a dozen years ago, it was still shrouded in the notoriety of flowing sewage, and is slowly regaining its good name.

The second group includes those who loved the Queen and the “wood on the water.”
