Poland is beautiful #3 - The trip to the Tatra Mountains [35 photos]
In this part of my series called "Poland is Beautiful", I want to take you back once again to the March 2013 when I was having five day long trip to the Tatra Mountains with some of my friends. I hope you will enjoy it :)
As always when visiting Tatra Mountains, we stayed in Zakopane. It is a town in the extreme south of Poland, at the foot of the Tatra Mountains and it's very touristy. For the whole time when we were there, there was a avalanche danger level 3, so for the first day we decided to choose some calm paths. We start from Kuźnice - the district of Zakopane, to reach Albertins Monastery on the Sleeping Mountain* and then we took the blue, black and yelow trail until we reach White Valley.* The weather was pretty good, a little bit cloudy but quite nicely.
Our trip this day starts at Słowacki's Boulevard, then we took the green trail to Nosal and then the blue one, through some passes until we reach "Murowaniec" Tourist Shelter, where we took some break. After that we took the yelow trail to go back to Kuźnice through the Jaworzynka Glade*. The weather was cloudy and frosty - you can see the hoarfrost on the trees :)
It was snowing at night, so we decided to choose some save place for the walk once again. It was a walk through Kościeliska Valley* to the "Ornak" Tourist Shelter* and back. There was a lot of snow, clouds where very low and it was frosty. But the hot wine and a pie gives us a powet for the way back :)
At last! The beautiful, sunny weather! But remember - there was a avalanche danger level 3 all the time. Despite that we took a vary long walk. I'm not going into the detail - there are too many Polish names to translate :D There are photographs instead :)
This day was just taking few last photos and go back home. We really enjoyed the time spent in the mountains :)
*those are my own English translations of Polish names, I have no idea are they correct, but I did my best :)

Now that I moved over here (to Warsaw from Chicago) I'm excited to go skiing in the mountains possibly this winter :) For the moment I'm trying to earn money and save, but I'm happy that exploring here is so much cheaper than in the States. Train tickets are so so cheap too, so many places to see! I used to travel so much when I was younger so I've seen quite a bit of the country, but now it's more for like pleasure as I grew up
I guess that almost everything is cheap for you here in Poland :) I'm not skiing myself, but if you want to visit mountains to do that, you should probably consider something different than Tatry. Just do the research, I may be also wrong :) And did you see my pictures from Wroclaw? I really recommend you to see it one day :)
You should have made a bit tighter choice of photographs @imperfect-one, but you have enough good ones that show beauty of Tatra Mountains. Please provide some info on your equipment and exposure data. Upvoted & resteemed.
Thank you for your opinion. I'm not a pro photographer, but I'm trying. I will provide the info you mentioned in the future posts of this series :)
Agreed with you Poland is very beautiful. Stunning landscape, wonderfully captured.
Thank you very much :) I'm glad that you appreciate this :)
amazing pics thanks for sharing
Thank you :)
looks like a great trip thanks for sharing. After the first 10 I decided you weren't getting blue skies and then it cleared up for you! Hope you had a good time and the warm wine and pie was good stuff!!
Yes, it was a great time, thank you :) The wine was even better :)
Tatry sa przepiekne! I visited Zakopane a few years back now, but have very fond memories of Dolina Chocholowska in particular. I also went in winter, but im sure it is awesome in summer too!
It's awesome the whole year :)
Bombastycznie!
Dzieki :)
