Stanislaw Witkiewicz is known as the creator of the style, having transformed the town in the late 1800s. Wood-rounded windows and detailed embellishments can be seen on the homes throughout the city center.
Tatra National Park. Located in the Tatra Mountains of the southern middle part of Poland. The national park encompasses an area of 81.71 miles. The Tatra Mountains create a shared border between Poland and Slovakia. Slovakia invests in protecting the mountain area with the sister national park under the same name (Tatra National Park Slovakia). The High Tatras and the Western Tatras make up this part of the mountainous region of Poland. The Tatras are characterized by sharp-jagged peaks and stunning rock formations. Rysy is the highest summit in Poland reaching a height of 8,199 feet.
Venture Around the Tatras. Zakopane is an excellent base for hiking in the area. The town is nestled right next to the Tatra National Park and trails are abundant. Most trails are day-long hikes, during your vacation stay you might try a full day hike up to a peak, then a return to town to relax with a mulled wine in hand. Take a hike in the Tatras. Lake Morskie Oko, or the Eye of the Sea, is the largest in the Tatras at 2,800 feet in length, and it will require a bus ride to the base of the trail. From there, it’s about a two-hour walk through the area’s impressive permaculture.
Try some Smoked Cheese. Oscypek is a delicious smoked sheep’s milk cheese. It is a local staple and you will find stands selling the stuff all over the town of Zakopane and various other mountain lodges throughout the region. Test Your Hiking Skills. The Rysy Mountain is the highest peak in Poland, sitting right on the border of Slovakia. The trail up the mountain is difficult and can be steep at points, but it does not require any technical climbing and can be done by most outdoor enthusiasts. On a clear day, the peak offers some of the best views encompassing the Tatras.
