Zakopane, Poland 05/2010

Zakopane is a town located in the south of Poland in the Tatra mountains. It is called "the winter capital city of Poland" and is believed to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in Poland.

Here you can see the pictures of the largest lake in the Tatra Mountains Morskie Oko (The Eye of the Sea). The picture was taken in May but there were still signs of winter.

Here is a picture from the top of Kasprowy Wierch. You can take the cable car to get there. Even in May it was still possible to ski. I really felt like winter was still there.

Another photo of Zakopane was taken on the top of Gubałówka. You can take a cable car to get on the top of it or just climb the mountain as it is not too much complicated.

A bit of Zakopane wooden architecture - masterpiece which I adore a lot.

If you ever come to Krakow, don't miss going to Zakopane, too. You can spend great time in the Tatra Mountains, visit different places, experience mountaineous climate, culture, food and folk music. It is something absolutely different and I am sure you will enjoy it a lot.
