This is the perfect opportunity to learn about the Highlander culture of Zakopane and the surrounding Podhale region. We will take you to one of the oldest houses in Zakopane, once owned by one of the most famous highlanders. From there we will continue to a local cheese hut (Bacowka) where we will explain more about highlander culture and also sample different forms of the renowned smoked sheep's cheese.
Zakopane and the surrounding area offer some of the best hiking routes in Poland and some of the most spectacular scenery. We offer tailor-made guided hiking tours in the Tatra National Park according to your ability and needs. The tours are mostly in the nearby valleys and on to higher peaks. We discuss the tour (length and destination) with you before the hike and decide together which route to take. We work with some of the best Tatra mountain guides and you can be sure of a fun and informative experience.
We are very excited to announce our All Saints' Day tour in Zakopane this year. We will combine our famous Highlander and Cheese-tasting tour with a special visit to the famous Pęksowy Brzyzek Cemetery. This is by far the best way to truely get to know the local life in Zakopane.
The horse carriage ride takes place in the beautiful Koscieliska Valley, one of the most beautiful valleys in Tatra Mountains and great for outdoor activities. We offer a horse carriage ride all year round (in the winter, you will be in a sleigh) into the valley. The stop is at Hala Pisana glade where you have a moment for a rest and pictures.
The Tatras offer some of the best hiking and climbing routes in Europe. Some of the routes are only reachable with an experience Tatra guide, they are not marked for tourists and offer some of the best views and climbing possibilities. There are also some climbs that are on marked trails but worth taking a guide. If you are experienced in hiking, you should definitely try our hiking and climbing trip to take your mountain hiking to the next level.
On this tour we would like to introduce you to a completely different Zakopane that you may not have heard of. Not many people know that below the Tatras lived many Jewish families who worked here and had a big part in creating the town that we know today. There was a vibrant Jewish community with a synagogue, shops, workshops and even a cemetery here. Nowadays you can however barely find any signs of their past here but our guide will help you discover this lost world and rich cultural Jewish past.
