Poland is getting more and more famous every year. Its medieval towns, rich history, low prices, amazing food and alcohol and also the affordable accommodations are attracting many tourists to Poland. Other than this, Wieliczka Salt Mine and Auschwitz Concentration camp are known in the world. There are many other adventure activities in Poland that can attract many tourists.
However, there are some magnificent places which are not well known – like the trails in the pristine Tatra Mountains. Expect from the famous Morskie Oko Lake trail (which is the least attractive), the other trails very easily attract foreigners. They are just like paradise – filled with crystal clear lakes and surrounded by snowy peaks of the rocky Tatra Mountains.

It is very obvious that hiking in Polish Tatras is getting more and more famous day by day. During the summer time, hundreds of tourists flock to the town of Zakopane in order to spend some time admiring the spectacular peaks and turquoise mountainous lakes.
Trail to RYSY – the highest peak in Poland
Although Rysy is the highest peak in Poland, it’s not that difficult to climb it to the top. This hiking is quite tiring and steep; nevertheless its nowhere near as difficult as some other trails in the Tatras – like, for example, the trail to Zawrat via Dolina Gasienicowa which is my favorite in the whole Tatras.

Many tourists coming to southern Poland and Krakow region end up in Zakopane – the little town located at the foot of the Tatra Mountains.
