- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Welcome to another adventure, this time we're in the South of Poland in a beautiful town called Zakopane, sat at the feet of the Tatra Mountains, which are part of the wider Carpathian mountain range which stretches across Eastern Europe.
Join me as I show you around Zakopane, and specifically the Main Krupówki Street in terms of what Zakopane offers regarding shops, restaurants and architecture. But more importantly the wider landscape, stunning views and adventure that Zakopane presents.
Within this video I'll also bring you along into the mountains on the most popular walk in Zakopane, up to Morskie Oko. If you have any questions about this trip, just ask me in the comments!

If you go in the summer you can hike up to places like Giewont, Rysy or Kasprowy Wierch. Giewont is 3 hours on foot uphill, but it’s more like a pilgrimage than a hike cause it’s so many people. An easier hike is Sarnia Skała and if you take Strążyska Valley you can see the Siklawica waterfall on the way up
Thanks for the comment :)
@@BenRobson123which airport was the closet to get to zakopane from Newcastle please x
@@vickytaylor8196 Krakow! Only 2 hours by coach / car :)
It's so amazing place, that I want to visit,, thank you for sharing this beautiful video.
You're very welcome. I hope you get to visit one day!
Hi Ben, I was to Zakopane in late summer quite a few years ago. It is absolutely stunning and a lot of beautiful scenery. My Grandparents on my mother's side was from a town named Grywald Poland not too from from Zakopane in Southern Poland. This was a very well done video and enjoyed seeing Zakopane with snow on the ground.
It wasn't 2019 was it? That's when I was there last! For sure, it certainly is a stunning place. In summer and winter, not sure which I preferred!
@@BenRobson123 It was the Summer of 1995.
Wow, it's amazing beautiful!
thank for bring memories from my country. Zakopane is really cool place. I recomend Bieszczady as well;) great video keep goin'
You're very welcome. And wow, it does look beautiful!

Incredible mate! And I don't have anything planned, still have 2 more vids to edit from my week in Poland. Had crazy amounts of footage haha!
You off anywhere?
Another stunning vid Ben 🎉 amazing stuff!
Thanks Liza!🥳
Costa cafe, TK-Max, McDonald's I love this Polish culture and tradition. In such a beautiful place like Zakopane, turn to American shopping center, Sad...
At least view never let down, beautiful as always.
bellissimo ❤❤❤
Grazie!😁
Great video Zak is the best gem
Very nice video and informative I would say. I am visiting Zakopane during Christmas and this is my very first time to visit Poland. I need some suggestions and recommendations for accommodation. I don't have to stay in the centre of Krupowki area where all the expensive and luxury hotels around. Would be good 10mins walk to the Krupowki. Is there any public transport to the Morskie Oko , I meaned straight to the Lake area?
Thank you! You will love it. For accommodation, I usually just check booking.c0m and airbnb. There should be plenty places hopefully!
You can only get public transport to the car park I done the walk from (I believe), from there it is a couple of hours walk. You do have the option of paying for a horse-ride up from the base. Hope that helps
Go and visit other cities in southern Poland like Krynica-Zdroj as well :)
The wooden mountain chalets are I think termed 'Dom Goralski"
Cool, would love to stay in a proper remote one, one day
👍
Planning to visit . Any tips on where to stay please ?
Not really. I just usually use Airbnb, Booking or Hostelworld and pick somewhere central :)
Why unexpected? Poland is very beautiful.
Zakopane
Hi. Some more info about architecture style that you liked:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zakopane_Style
For example those radiant boards on the roof gables symbolize sun rays.
Morskie Oko literally means Sea's Eye or Eye of the Sea (Baltic Sea of course) - very symbolic and romantic name - I would say typical for Polish national character.
Hope you will come back to Poland soon - there's lot of things for you to discover around Zakopane and in whole country.
Have you been on thermal baths?
Pieniny mountains are quite nearby Krakow and Zakopane. It's beautiful there, especially in autumn. 🙂
Thank you for the information. I'll certainly be back I'm sure! Would love to visit the Tetra region again... but perhaps explore more isolated areas
Poland
Mate, watch out when walking on the frozen lakes.
a) you never REALLY know the thickness of the ice
b) the Park guards will be more than happy to fine you
😨 oh wow really? There were so many people walking on the lake so I just assumed it was fine. I’m guessing perhaps nearer the start of winter, the ice may not be so thick
Super film, tylko zabrakło polskich napisów.
Nie bądz jak duda ucz się języków
@@lukaszb.7637 prawda hahaa
Less finger pointing please. Your words are enough. Beautiful area! Thanks!
Hi Ben I am born in Poland I never like winter time that’s why I’m living in Florida have a nice day body have a nice day thank you my friend
US is one of the coldest countries in the world. Much more colder then Poland. Only the sun belt states are warm in Minnesota they have temperatures -55 Celsius in winter
