Tips from the community
The Tatra Mountains rise like daggers to the south of Krakow. The drive down is a journey in itself, as you wiggle through wooded valleys and then see the serrated peakHit the ski slopes of Zakopane (winter only)s swing into view on the Slovak border. The town of Zakopane is the prime base for hiking in the spring, summer, and autumn (Zakopane ski trips take over during winter). It’s nestled in a deep bowl of summits, which herald the stunning Tatra National Park. There are several famous treks within, from the Valley of Five Lakes to the challenging walk to the top of Kasprowy Wierch.
