Zakopane... A small town located in the southernmost part of Poland... and yet it attracts on average 2,5mln tourists a year... What makes it so desirable then? For one it’s the incredible Tatra mountains, and what comes with that are the endless opportunities for trekking in summer or skiing and cross country skiing in winter... But it’s also the different culture, slightly different language... Read Full Entry

I love to travel... and so far I have been lucky enough to visit a few of the incredible parts of this world... So much more to do and see still though... the list seems to have no end... Well... One place at the time... My big Asian adventure of 2013 finished with an unexpected move across the globe... A husband and two kids later I'm still dreaming of long-term travel... Happy travels everyone! :)... full info

Tatra Mountains
What a spectacular part of Poland Anna. Kinda confirmed by the crowds that also think so. Thanks for doing the trek for me. Is Koscieliska the feminine for Koscielisko? Any relation to Kosciusko?

Tatra Mountains
Yes it is a really beautiful part of Poland. And yes, Koscieliska is a feminine of Koscielisko - for example Dolina Koscieliska (Koscieliska Valley). As for Kosciuszko, no relation to Koscielisko. Tadeusz Kościuszko was a very important military leader in the end of the 18th century, while Koscielisko is just a name of the town, which was most probably derived from word 'kosci' which means bones. Thanks for reading and commenting Dave.

Good comedy and travelling - its all in the timing.
Heard that the treks in the Tatra Mountains was good but never realised how popular it was, but then I guess if I have heard about it most of the rest of the world has too. After seeing your photos I understand why they are so popular - really spectacular. A 3 hour wait for a cable car would have had me back at a bar and perhaps rolling down the hill later. Congratulations on the line I have never seen written before "Since the forecast for the next day wasn’t too bad – 4C in the morning but no rain throughout the day" 4C in the morning wasn't bad??? but then I looked again and hoped that you didn't mean -4C. Looking forward to Poprad

For a moment we thought about staying longer in the bar also, but rolling down the hill in the dark put us off a bit. Haha, yeah it was 4C, not -4C, though it probably wouldn't have been much of a difference anyway...It wasn't raining and that was the most important part of that sentence. Thanks for reading!
