Zakopane Travel Blogs

If you don’t have anything better to do - visit Polish mountains in the autumn. :o) The colours and views are just picturesque. The atmosphere idyllic and restful.   But while in the mountains - remember! Don’t stand in a highlander’s way. In case if you consider yourself daring – don…

During my last week of finals, I was so tired of school and my room that I was somehow forced to stay all the days, that I was ready to go anywhere as soon as my last exam was over. And so on the next evening me and my best friend were sitting in the train on our way to Zakopane, which is on the ot…

After how wonderful Kinga's first tip turned out to be yesterday, we decided to see her second advice, Morskie Oko, too. This little lake is out of town so we had to catch a bus to bring us nearer. The trip is rather short and the sights on the way are really beautiful.Visitors to the Morskie Oko (…

Upon waking up, I noticed there was a goat tethered in the back yard of Danuta's place. :D  Always an interesting sight. The train ride was long and hot.  I guess because it was a Friday, it was also packed (though, you'd think people would be going FROM Krakow TO the mountains on Frida…

This is my fave place in Poland. The only one with really high mountains, and it's so beautiful.I traveled there few times with my friends, we were staying at a convent in Zakopane. It was probably the best place to make trips to the mountains. The nuns had good prices and best localisation (Kuźni…

I always wonder why is it that I love mountains so much:). Well hello, because they are so beautiful, almost untouched by the human hand (hm), surprising, dangerous...just look;)

After arrival and thoughts of Auschwitz behind us, we wandered out of the Bus station in Zakopane, not for the first time having less chance of finding our hostel than Burnley had of knocking Chelsea out the FA Cup at the Bridge. What can I say - miracles do happen... Our plan was to blag it once w…

Some of our group decided to take a weekend trip to Zakopane.  We spent two nights at the Good Bye Lenin Hostel which isn't particularly close to the town part, but right near some mountain paths.  It was a particularly cozy place to stay & I'd definitely stay there again.  On th…

The day began at around 8am when we took the coach from Czestochowa to Zakopane, this took about five hours because of the traffic but hey, we got there in the end!  We didn't have any accommodation booked so on arrival in Zakopane but had heard that there are private rooms available for rent …

I don't know how many times I was in Zakopane, but this is the town that I can see again and again though I always feel kind of the respect or maybe even a distance that is between locals and guests. In Zakopane I am "only" Varsovian, that don't know much about the mou…

Had intended to fly to Gdansk then travell in a circle via Poznan Wrzesnia Wrocław Krakow Wieliczka Zakopane Lublin Białystok and back to Poznan.

Good times!! ........

I went there for one week with my Japanese friends to show them beautiful Polish Tatry

In my company there are a couple of foreigners, some of them came for longer, some of them just for limited time. One of them is Hari, my collegue from Indian. Before he would leave Slovakia I had to show him something else from my country then Bratislava. Petri from Finnland and Dan from Sweden (both travbuddies) were more then ready to join us. The 2 days adventure could begin.

Me and the boyfriend Jeff arrive in Krakow and receive a bad email from the tour company that I had booked a trip with to go down to Biakla Tatranska, which is in the Carpathian Mountains to do some snowboarding.  They said, due to the lack of snow on the mountains, the trip has been…

Enough of the city life in Krakow, heading south. Zakopane is a lovely skiing village on the Polish side of Tatra Mountains, near the Slovakian Border. We camped up in a hostel called Good Bye Lenin, which was a great great little log cabin run by a polish and argentinian bloke. The reason for he…
