Hi Guys!

Holidays are here! So, I have a few suggestions for spending those best days of the year. For people who like to spend their free time actively, in addition to classic cycling or walking in the park, I recommend that you go to the mountains. In my opinion the most beautiful mountains in Poland are the Tatra Mountains.

The most popular town near them is Zakopane. There are many attractions, such as a slope from the ski jump „Wielka Krokiew”, the parrot house, the Aqua Park, waterfalls and the most important of all – mountain trails. There are many mountain trails in the area. The most popular one is the trail to Morskie Oko. You can go there on your own or take a horse carriage. Another interesting point is Gubałówka. It is an impressive mountain peak in the Tatras that offers beautiful views of all the mountains and Zakopane. It is enough to stand on one of the observation decks to admire Czerwone Wierchy, Giewont, Kasprowy Wierch – the most popular mountain peaks.

Below are some practical words and phrases about the mountains:
