Take a full-day excursion from Kraków to a raised treetop walkway with panoramic Tatra views, then unwind in Chochołów’s mineral-rich thermal pools. This trip blends active forest walking with restorative hot-water time across the Polish–Slovak border.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a raised boardwalk and the forest exhales around you — spruce and beech brushing the path as the treetop walkway rises above the canopy. The wooden planks carry you out toward a circular lookout tower that lifts your view over the Slovak Tatras and, on a clear day, skims the ridgelines of Pieniny National Park. Later, steam wreathes outdoor pools in Chochołów, warm mineral water nudging tired legs back to life.
