You step out of the minivan into a pocket of rolling hills and glassy kettle lakes—trees lean close as if to whisper local names. The air is cool, the ground still marked by fingers of ice that sculpted these slopes during the last glaciation; from vantage points you can see ribbons of forest and fields threaded between small lakes, and the highest plateau at Wieżyca rising like a watchful hill.
