Perhaps the arboretum Kornik , adjacent to the small castle of the former local lord to five miles south of Poznan, which can understand what is the role of trees in the Polish countryside: totally dominant. Forest covers 28% of the land area, percentage equal to that of France among the highest in Europe, but unlike us, it occurs to the heart of cities, wild, virtually untouched, she saw her living alongside humans in it spawn a road as they can, because the aisles are not troujours plotted. We are far from royal hunting estates in the French maintained by our very national offices of all kinds.
In this sense of authenticity, the arboretum Kornik, which has national value, this all varieties endemic to Poland: no exotic trees brought from nowhere, but a variety of thorny incredible hardwoods and all are there, often huge and rights as "I".
A few miles away, the field Rogalin , attached to National Museum of Poznan , in contrast, presents a stylish, all inspired by the eighteenth century. Rogalin is the former stronghold of the family Raczinsky, which gave Poland a number of dignitaries including the last was Edward Bernard Raczinsky , Ambassador of Poland in London during World War II, whose moral authority earned him becoming President of the Polish Republic in exile between 1979 and 1986, as Poland remained a government in exile in London until 1990. Died in 1993 at the age of 102, he had the happiness to know the new Poland, finally free of its future.
A new building built next to the castle houses the collection of paintings from the nineteenth century constituted by Edward Bernard Raczinsky, notable for his portraits, and in fact has many figurative painters of contemporary French impressionists. A beautiful place.
