(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Podhale is a real paradise for lovers of communing with nature and a Mecca for tourists who love mountain hiking. The region is divided into “Rocky Podhale” (the southern border of which is marked by Zakopane, among others) and “Nizne Podhale”. Along the Polish border, there are Tatra Mountains, protected in the area of the Tatra National Park. The historical capital of the region is Nowy Targ, while the town most important and most visited by tourists is the “winter capital of Poland” – Zakopane. Podhale is characterized by an attachment to tradition, its inhabitants have a very emotional attitude to folk elements and folklore and you will see the manifestations of the above at almost every step.
Tatra National ParkPass-by Only
The Tatra mountains are an iconic location with their own breathtaking sights, outdoor adventures, and local customs and traditions. The rocky peaks reach between 2,000 to 5,000 thousand feet with the highest Rysy peak towering at over 8,000 feet. Tatra National Park surrounds and protects the whole Tatra massif with its highest peak, Mount Rysy (2,499 meters above sea level), and is the only region of an Alpine character in Poland. The jagged granite ridges and forested slopes, post-glacial depressions, mountain lakes, numerous caves and scenic valleys with rushing mountain streams create one of the most beautiful landscapes in Poland. The park has been recorded on the UNESCO list of World Biosphere Reserves. We can admire the beauty of the Tatra landscape by going on mountain trails or using the funicular to Gubalowka, the cable car to Kasprowy Wierch and the chairlift to Butorowy Wierch.
Zakopane
Zakopane, the crib of Polish mountain tourism, is situated in the beautiful valley at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. It proudly bears the name of the winter capital of Poland, but it is attractive also during the summer. The town is famous for its over 100 years of history. Breathtaking mountain views, unique folklore, delicious regional cuisine, hospitable people… all this and much more Zakopane has to offer. The town is also a good place to buy traditional Polish cheese, local craft, leather goods and sheep skin rugs. Most shops are located near the main street of the city - Krupowki, as well as near the main railway station.
