Adventure Holidays in Zakopane

Zakopane is a town in southern Poland, informally known as the 'Winter Capital' of the country. It's a pretty resort town, situated at the feet of the Tatra Mountains, the only alpine mountain range in the Carpathian Mountains. Famed for its wooden chalets, it's also popular in summer with hikers. From here you can take up the cable car up Kasprowy Wierch and walk in the mountains. The region is particularly well known for wood carvings and oscypk - a tasty smoked cheese.
