In the Middle Europe, where the Poland is, there definitely aren't any volcanos. At least, at a glance... ;)
In south part of Poland there are some volcanos. Obviously, none of them are active - they are extincted for 27 millions years.
There is The Land of Extincted Volcanos (Kraina Wygasłych Wulkanów) in Kaczawskie Mountains. This mountain range is the oldest in Poland (and one of the oldest in the world), because it was created half billion years ago. Nowadays, there isn't any lava there, but because of the tectonic plates, on which the volcanos were created, there still can be earthquakes. On the other hand, it isn't very probable.
It is considered that the most beautiful Polish volcano is Ostrzyca Proboszczowicka, which is near the city Złotoryja. Inhabitants call it 'Śląska Fudżijama'.
I agree with that opinion - this volcano is very picturesque :)
I saw Polish volcanos by the car's window, but I haven't sightseen them yet. I think I really need to do it, because they're incredible and definitely worth seeing.
