The city

The local experience
Willa Koliba showcases the Zakopane style in a wooden house associated with the work of Stanisław Witkiewicz. The building allows recognition of roofs, joints and decoration that transformed references of regional architecture into a distinctive residential language.
Kasprowy Wierch is a mountain of the Tatras reached from the Kuźnice sector. The summit offers views of the region's ridges and valleys when visibility allows, but the experience depends on mountain conditions, which can differ greatly from Zakopane's streets.
Morskie Oko is a lake surrounded by cliffs and slopes of the Tatras, inside the national park. The usual access requires travel from Zakopane to the trailhead and a long walk, so the visit should not be treated as a roadside viewpoint.
The church of São Miguel Arcanjo is located in Dębno, on the rural circuit north of Zakopane. The wooden building is part of the World Heritage group of churches of southern Little Poland and displays a community-built scale different from that of large urban churches.
Gubałówka is a rise adjacent to Zakopane that allows views of the town and the Tatra ridgeline when visibility permits. Access by mountain transport departs from the urban sector, creating a program different from long hikes within the national park valleys.
The Kościeliska valley lies in the Western Tatras and offers a walking route among slopes, forest and rock formations. Entering via the Kiry sector requires travel from Zakopane, so the outing should be organized as a standalone nature program.
Pieniny National Park protects a landscape of limestone mountains along the Dunajec River, east of Zakopane. The gorge offers a different form of Carpathian relief, distinct from the ridges and high lakes of the Tatras.
