“The journey to Zakopane was incredible and left a lasting impression of how this wonderful placehas stood the test of time. Along the way, we visitedthe Chocholow wooden village, which has stood for over 100 yrs. Using only natural resources, the mountain highlanders built their houses with stunning beauty and craftsmanship. Zakopane which lieas at the base ofnthe Tatra Mountains, feels truly magical especially during the winter season when it is blanketed with snow. To enjoy the stunning view of this resort town, climbing the Gubalowka using the funicular is a must. Snow-capped mountains in the backdrop make the day deeply relaxing while enjoying the magnificient beauty of nature.”
