Father and Daughter at Morskie Oko Lake
If you’re itching to escape the urban hustle and bustle of Krakow, then this day trip to the quaint town of Zakopane is just what you need! Add icing to the cake with a beautiful and long hike through the Tatra Mountains to Morskie Oko Lake.
A Scenic Hike to the Morski Oko Lake
Your driver will pick you up from your hotel and drive you towards the picturesque Tatra Mountains. Relax and enjoy the scenic 2-hour drive until you arrive at the base of the Morski Oko hike. Get your hiking boots ready as you hike towards the glacier lake of Morskie Oko for around 2 hours. Enjoy the leisurely hike, surrounded by the stunning view of the Podhale mountains till you arrive at your destination – the Morski Oko Lake. Meaning the 'Eye of the Sea' in Polish, the lake with its green-blue waters, surrounded by mountains, is definitely worth the hours of hiking. Relax and take in the stunning scenery in front of you or capture pictures to remember this moment.
The Charming Town of Zakopane
Hike back down to the base and from here your next stop will be the charming town of Zakopane. Cap off this escapade with a funicular ride to the top of Mt. Gubalowka. On your way to the summit, enjoy stunning panoramic views of the granite and limestone peaks of the Tatra Mountains and of the landscape below. Once you reach the summit, explore the area on your own before you head back to Zakopane. Here, spend time on Krupowki Street, and discover the Zakopane style of art and architecture as you peruse its shops for some unique souvenirs.
