It's impossible to get bored in Zakopane, whether by exploring its golden hit list or choosing walks off the main trails and away from the crowds. Here you can surrender to the rhythm of the city or immerse yourself in nature, enter the forest and soak your feet in streams.
The set of attractions offered by the villa is extensive. Belong to them:
– outdoor hot tub in the garden,
– relaxation spaces in bedrooms – with comfortable sofas and armchairs,
– shared living room with a large corner sofa, pinball machine, bar and TV,
– terrace and deckchairs to stare at Kasprowy Wierch and Wielka and Średnia Krokiew,
– a space with a sauna with soft bathrobes and loungers to relax.
Just behind the fence, your adventure with kilometers of mountain trails, bicycle, running and walking routes can begin. In winter, it is worth taking (or renting) skis and using the well-prepared ski slopes. Walks are the most pleasant in spring and summer. Go to Antałówka, Butorowy Wierch, Nosal and Morskie Oko (though it's best during the week and early in the morning to avoid crowds). It is also worth going for a walk in the Kościeliska and Chochołowskie Valleys (you can bike here, it is most charming in autumn). From Hala Gąsienicowa you can go to Czarny Staw and visit Murowaniec, and enjoy a cup of tea and apple pie with a view of Świnica, Głosiec and former shepherd's huts. There is also the largest valley in the Polish High Tatras - the Valley of Five Polish Ponds, where the Wielka Siklawa waterfall and a shelter are located. When you are in Zakopane in autumn, you will hear the deer rut in the Mała Łąka Valley.
If you just want to look and not climb, remember that there is a gondola lift to Kasprowy Wierch and a funicular railway to Gubałówka.
The following routes will provide you with peaceful but charming walks: from Krupówki to Krzeptówki through Kościeliska Street and from Rondo Jana Pawła II through Koziniec and Jaszczurówka, up to Kuźnice (you will see many examples of the Zakopane style in architecture).
It is worth visiting one (or several) places from the list with the "art" tag, to choose from: the Tatra Museum, designed by Stanisław Witkiewicz, Willa Oksza, which houses an art gallery, Antoni Rząsa Gallery, Orski Gallery, Sculpture Gallery Grzegorz Pecuch, Władysław Hasior Gallery, Sabałówka.
The cultural (and definitely unique) calendar of events in Zakopane is full, regardless of the season, most of them allow you to get to know the highlander culture and folklore better:
– March Film Festival on Art,
– Mountain Folklore Festival – an international holiday lasting 7 days, during which highlanders from all over the world present their cultural heritage,
– Tatra Mountaineer Bands Festival "Złote Kierpce" in April,
