Polana
Mysterious nooks, rocky monuments – mighty remnants of ancient volcanic activity; forests and ancient woodlands; upland hay meadows and pastures; and man – calluses, sweat, but also sincere joy, and above all the pride of those who live on this charming piece of land. All that is Poľana! In spite of its fame, it has retained its intimate character for centuries. Documentary film about Polana Biosphere Reserve, which can serve as examples of sustainable life, acceptable balance, and a mutually beneficial relationship between man and the natural environment.
