Itinerary

Meet at Meeting point Wielopole 2

Pick up from meeting point (Krakow)

We will meet at a traditional meeting point near the city center (or arrange another pick-up point after ordering). Please remember to arrive on time (or better a few minutes earlier).

Transfer to Zakopane

Depending on road and weather conditions, the journey takes approximately 2 hours. Sit back and admire the typical Polish landscapes, which will gradually change from the plains to the more mountainous ones until the picturesque Tatra Mountains appear on the horizon.

Stop at "Bacówka"

On your way to Zakopane, you will visit the place where one of the most unique cheeses in the world is made.

Highlanders - local settlers, famous for their manual production of "oscypek". It is a type of smoked cheese made from sheep's milk. The wooden houses where this cheese is produced are called "Bacówki". In such a small wooden hut you will be able to try different types of this cheese with different degrees of smoking, as well as learn how it is made.

Krupówki - the heart of Zakopane

If it is believed that Zakopane is the heart of the Tatra Mountains, then Krupówki is the heart of Zakopane.

You will visit this most popular walking street, which is at the same time a specific city square and its focal point. At any time of the year, Krupówki Street is crowded with tourists who visit shops and go to regional restaurants located along the street. In this street, you can find many traditional highlander items to buy, such as clothes and souvenirs.

You will have free time to get to know Zakopane on your own. Start from Krupówki and take your time to find other points of interest in the city.

Cable car ride to Gubałówka

Being in Zakopane, it is absolutely necessary to take the cable car to the top of Gubałówka (1123 m asl). A modern car with a glass roof allows the railway to climb upwards, wonderfully admiring the evident multi-storey arrangement of the Tatra vegetation with the peaks of high mountains in Poland. There are many attractions at the top, most of all, a wonderful panorama of the Tatra Mountains, an uninterrupted view of the mountain Zakopane located at the foot of the mountain and the possibility of relaxing in the sunshine.

Thermal Pools

After exploring Zakopane and the surrounding area, the driver will transport you to the thermal pools, where you will be able to relax and feel the health properties of thermal water.

Transfer to Kraków

In the evening, relax on the way back to Krakow, where the tour will end.
