The highest Polish mountains, part of the Carpathian range, towering above the town of Zakopane, can be seen in their entire splendour from the top of Gubałowka, a hill on the other side of the town.
Tatry offer something for everyone. A trek up the valleys Kościeliska or Chochołowska is almost like a walk in the park even for beginners, as is a trip to Morskie Oko – a picturesque lake nestled between the mountains.
Giewont – the most famous mountain in Poland is more of a challenge. Big as they are, Tatry seem almost too small for the amount of people who want to visit them. It is best advised to go head there in autumn or spring, that is outside the skiing season and the summer holiday when visitors numbers peak.
