Zakopane

Zakopane. A city in the far south of Poland. In winter it is crowded with winter sports enthusiasts. But in the summer you can also experience everything. Trek into the mountains and discover the nature of the Tatra Mountains. Do you like walking? Then this area is perfect for you. Visit the Tatra National Park. With 270 kilometers of walking area you will be happy for a while. With, of course, Morsie Oko. The largest lake in the mountains. And is known as 'The Eye of the Sea'.

On the border with Slovakia you will find the Kasprowy Wierch. There are several routes that run to the top of the mountain. But do not you feel like a sporting challenge? Then take the cable car. Nice and relaxing and amazing view. Also nice to do: visit a local sheep cheese maker. Cheese making is one of the traditions. Which has been well preserved. Taste the Oscypek cheese. Which is often hardened in decorative forms. It looks super nice and tastes good.

The city of Zakopane itself is also very cozy. Many old wooden houses. And of course a whole bunch of apartments and hotels. Especially in winter it is crowded with winter sports enthusiasts. But in the summer you can sit on terraces. And in the evenings you can also have fun at Prestige Night Club. In the heart of the city you will find Krupowki Street. There are many nice restaurants here. And also a lot of funny souvenir shops.

Are you going for a day of hiking in the summer? Then pack a bag with picnic stuff. Very cozy, tasty and chill. Between the sheep, in the middle of nature. Do you want somewhere cheap and traditional food? Then go to the typical Polish Bar Mleczny's: the milk bars. These self-service restaurants can be found in many places. In the past, mainly dairy dishes were served. But now you can eat several traditional Polish dishes. Pierogi, a dough dish. Barszcz, a soup of red beets. And Bigos, a hunting dish with sauerkraut. You will often see the menus.
