Suwalki were voivodeship town until 1998. Now it is the place of Podlasie vioivodeship. Present town is geared towards toursim. The unique flora and fauna are the local treasure. Situated among 70 lakes are the great place to start the trip to the Wigry National Park and the Suwalki Landscape Park.

This monastery is the most precious monument on the area of Wigry National Park. The Camaldolese Order - founders of Suwalki city have arrived here in 1668. The work of building the monastery complex had lasted since the half of 18th century. Present buildings are the effect of a postwar reconstruction.

Suwalki region is undiscovered by tourists. Perhaps this is better, because it would lost its incredible charm. You will find misty landscapes of Wigry land and photographs of Camaldolese monastery in Wigry of Radoslaw Pszczolkowski authorship.

The Augustowska Primeval Forest is one the biggest forest complexes in Poland, and together with its immediate neighbours the forests in Lithuania and Belarus, it constitutes one of the largest compact complexes in Europe.

Wigry National Park occupies the area of 15 thousand ha. About 10000 ha are occupied by forest ecosystems, 2800 ha by water ecosystems. 4% of the Park’s area are covered by strict protection. Nature conservation is the main goal of the Park.
