Zakopane is my favorite place in Tatra Mountains, south of Poland. It’s full of beautiful landscapes, stylish architecture and great hiking routes for everyone from a starter to a pro.

Just see my picture gallery (mixture of photos from two visits – in April and August), then check out my photos from Kasprowy Wierch, Morskie Oko lake as well as Kościelisko Valley and then read the 7 things to know before visiting Zakopane.
