About:

Krakow is considered a real cultural and historical capital of Poland, but locals know that besides the must-see icons and views, the city offers many places to charge your batteries and rest close to nature. We would love to show you the Tatra Mountains and the city of Zakopane – our favorite mountain destination located only two hours drive from Krakow. Beautiful landscapes, amazing wooden architecture, highlander lifestyle, regional dishes served in traditional restaurants and available on the local market. On the way to Zakopane, we will admire beautiful panoramic views of the Tatra mountains and we will discover how to make traditional, smoked cheese – oscypek. Later we will have light trekking in the picturesque, mountain valley and after a traditional, highlander-style lunch we will explore the alive folklore of Zakopane and see its original monuments and unique wooden architecture. (As the weather in the mountains is unpredictable, the trekking part of the tour will be adopted in a way to give you always the best possible experience).
