Zakopane, Poland for Tatra Mountain Hiking

What to expect

Zakopane, Poland sits at the foot of the Tatras, where trails rise fast from town toward Giewont, Kasprowy Wierch, and the high basin of Morskie Oko. Base yourself here for sharp alpine walking through Kościeliska Valley, big ridge views above Kuźnice, and the distinct mountain culture that makes Zakopane feel different from anywhere else in southern Poland.
