Zakopane

Visiting Zakopane is a great opportunity to get to know the wooden architecture of the Podhale highlanders, as well as see beautiful Zakopane-style villas, inspired by the folklore of this region. Unique examples of the Zakopane style are the villa Pod Jedlami and the charming chapel in Jaszczurówka, designed by Stanisław Witkiewicz, the creator of the Zakopane style. In the vicinity of the famous Krupówki promenade in Zakopane, there is the magnificent building of the Tatra Museum devoted to the mountains. You can also find many churches and monasteries in Zakopane. However, most pilgrims go to the sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima in Krzeptówki, closely related to John Paul II. Using the funicular, we will go to the top of Gubałówka (1120 m above sea level). This picturesque mountain ridge emerges from the north of Zakopane, on the opposite side of the Giewont peak. We will also try what the famous highland sheep cheese "oscypek" tastes like.

Cmentarz Zasluzonych na Peksowym Brzyzku

We will visit the charming cemetery in Zakopane. Most of the tombstones here are richly decorated works of art made of wood, stone and metal. In front of the cemetery there is a wooden church of Our Lady of Częstochowa, the oldest church in Zakopane.
